War shapes the warriors it touches, leaving behind vestiges that linger in their lives long after the battlefield fades from view. In Recon Marines: Searching for the Real Enemy, we are thrust into the unrelenting grip of Vietnam's jungle, a landscape both indifferent and eternal. Yet the war waged in the depths of memory proves...

What is the nature of the affection you claim to possess for me when your expressions of love are accompanied by detachment, distance, and uncomfortable silences? I find myself engaging in internal monologues in an attempt to alleviate the emotional challenges that we vowed would never arise between us, akin to the familial dynamics we...

I think I hear whispers floating through my mind, It's the voice of someone I held dear- I remember the days when games were the only stress there. Opposite balconies facing each other, Extending hands to see if we could hold together , We bonded over shared toys, origami papers and roaring laughter. We played during every holiday as we grew, Sometimes...

Farther and farther you go I hope you dig yourself a grave Buried and no way out Without a coffin so I can watch you choke On your sins you have made, I hope karma comes and spits on your name We were once family now I tear the title from the frames Deeper and deeper you dig You think you can get...

Have you ever thought about the raising of Cain? Where did that boy get a rage so completely insane that he ended up murdering his younger brother? Did he learn it from his father and mother, who must've been in deep, psychological pain for having caused Eden to go down the drain. ...

As we consider others With more than a few objections Can we unveil Our own masked reflections? As we review our brother With an exaggerated disdain Can we become cognizant Of the true source of our pain? As we inspect our neighbor With ever ascending exasperation Can we give pause and question The root of our vexation? As we give the mirror Just one more searching glance In order...

A sonnet by this arrant bard, an other, whose sole half-brother, a real piece of work, and single parent (mother like no other!), together were no warm nor loving perk. In her heart, mother disowned me in life. My younger half-brother begrudged my...

Mark 9:41 “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.” I’ve never housed a homeless person I’ve never been that brave – But, oh how I’ve longed to show others the grace, the love, the One who...

Humanity suffers, totalitarianism reigns, Vanity crushes our personal gains, Mankind is weeping and working as slaves, Those who refuse are remembered in graves. This is the fate of the people who cry, How do they rate if they do or they die? How do you choose what to do with your life? Most people can't who succumb to the strife. What does it...

Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity. She couldn't write about her mother- Her young womb a cradle for a different form, Was her brothers' Memorial wall. When she was born, no rebirth occurred. No resurrection for the newly buried. They were the Heroes. The Glorified Dead- The sacrifice of one man's bitter inner war. She was the shadow living in the shadow their gravestone cast on living grass... In...

”A Twin in Heaven” Exactly 12 days short of two weeks, and thoughts of losing you fails to escape me. Debating if perhaps- all the while, a test solely for me?! A test- proving if my strength can not emerge to weak?! A test- to leave behind the visual effects of your flesh that night in hopes it no longer torments me?! Or… A test- to see who’s reaching the Pearly Gates first… you...

When big brother becomes too big So large it has to put on a larger wig When the inner cloister is as big as the outer And detecting dissension becomes too easy to stir That is when its helm begins to self-sabotage The appeal of change is no longer a mirage Its sheer weight disables its ability to pivot Like Rome’s...

The night before my father’s heart attack, my brother and I were splayed across a bed watching a re-run of “Happy Days” and eating Oreo cookies. My father sat stiff and upright in a wooden chair. By then, his back felt like it was being pierced by daggers and the pain made his face pale and clammy. I offered him an Oreo, one...
