Tragedy – Their Story

Tragedy – Their Story

reluctance…their eyes met…distance too small for regrets their proximity too vast to connect…trepidation between the two both aware of what they need to do…though desire for the same is lost in the contemplations and understanding of the cost they grapple with the truth…they struggle with should I…should I not should I confess my sins…my...

Tragedy – His Story

he chose not to be like his friends pens and composition notebooks were all he needed at night when the lights the overhead, star cluster of lights shone down on their heads above coarse camouflage comforters and sandy-bottomed beds he chose to be real the real deal kind of man that those club-hopping bedroom...

Tragedy – Her Story

She was a military spouse Married to an institution The only kind that demands No separation Between family and career Between the office and the home But home is where the boots tread Where soaring and marching battalions Of wild weasels and thunderbirds Wildcats and strike eagles Labor in the same community Among the...

Dare You

I dare you to let go for a moment To let the hours melt away And just lay in the moment Like our time together is the sun And we are sun-bathers absorbing The intensity of one another as rays of light Penetrating one another’s being… I dare you to laugh between moments, Between...

Strip Down, Try It On (Part 2)

Strip Down, Try It On (Part 2)

My son did with his clothes what many men (and women) do in relationships.  In the same way that he refused to take off his old pants to try on the new ones, men sometimes start a new relationship before sloughing off the feelings and emotions from the old relationship.  Some call it carrying...

Strip Down, Try It On (Part 1)

A few days ago, we took the children school shopping.  The boys followed me to the men’s section (they’re tall), and my wife took the girls to the toddler’s, girl’s, and junior’s sections.  We alternated between taking Sydney (3-yr old) so that we could accomplish some shopping, each in turn.  We call her little...

Entrusted

I am a father. I have been a father for the past sixteen years, but there are those precious moments, those awakening instances in which one of my children will say or do something that makes my role more real.  In those moments, I feel as if I swallowed a tablespoon of wasabi paste. ...

Conflict

Conflict

Imagine a boxing match without conflict.  Two fighters dancing around in the ring, punches deliberately sliding past one another as they pretend to be engaged in bloody, brutal combat.  Only, there is not much combat; rather, what you see is a clumsy dance, deceitful footwork, and over-dramatic bluster.  Not much of a fight, huh? ...

Like At First Sight

I doubt my wife questions my love for her.  She knows that I will protect her, that I will give my life in exchange for hers, or even take a life to guarantee the safety of hers.  She knows I will do all within my power and ability to provide for her, even if...

Diamonds

Diamonds

“…you are a diamond… The DeBeers diamond company, a South African diamond company, convinced the American public that diamonds were a girl’s best friend through a rather clever and notably successful marketing campaign.  Believe it or not, the diamond engagement ring is not a deep-rooted tradition; in fact, it was not until the 1930′s...
