Those desperate green eyes haunt me, even now. The doctor said she had more time, and I wanted to believe him. So, trusting coward that I was, I decided to leave that horribly bright room for a tiny bit of peace from those beeping monitors and away from her pain. Just a couple of hours … Continue reading Her Desperate Green Eyes

Big John, Crossover Music
Can you hear music from heaven? Maybe, when you are still, quiet, and troubled? Big John always wore his shirts with sleeves and necks unbuttoned. Colors were usually gray or blue to black. Sometimes they were solid, sometimes checkered. He really did not care. He was bent at the neck like the world bore down … Continue reading Big John, Crossover Music
FROSTY VANESSA
Schnick! The pick danced on the rocks again, and a few sparks leaped from the white granite to die quickly in the cold autumn air. Torrance could see Ice crystals left on the pointed tip of the Pick, as the northern wind came whistling through the Aspen trees further up the slope. "Got to get … Continue reading FROSTY VANESSA

I Just Want to Play – Baseball Field
All the neighborhood gang stood around on the field choosing sides, while the summer sun eased our pores open and sweat rivered down mixing with the dirt on our necks. Passing clouds were lazy as the wind was slow, and the insects were so present and loud. A few ball bats lay on the ground, … Continue reading I Just Want to Play – Baseball Field
My Branch, My Piece of Heaven
The sun ignores the leaves, while I tuck in the bough far above the ground. The old limb moves gently, slowly in the breeze. While I think of my life and how fresh I am. I see the grass below in lazy gaze, with my hands tucked neath my chin, and those fluffy clouds, move … Continue reading My Branch, My Piece of Heaven
Dance, When Your Hips Move
Settle down, my little girl, Let me tell you the good, you are only sensing bad. You hear me groan to get out of a chair, and you see the snow on my head, you think me as old and slow. Maybe ancient? But, I made the highlands when others fell so soon, so long … Continue reading Dance, When Your Hips Move
Someone Else
I spent the day, wishing I was somewhere else, someone else, only to realize, I am exactly where and whom I was meant to be. The sound of my life, just like your song, sounds so good to me. Hear me. Remember me, as I hear and remember you. And, we smile.
