Premium Member At thirty-eight, his story seemed to have already been written
At thirty-eight, his story seemed to have already been written, he sipped his coffee and recalled where he went wrong or maybe got it right, for he had grown tired of the insurance game, of small offices with glass walls, of clients who came and went like faceless, soulless shadows. He was weary of the lies told to his...

Just Eight
She was just eight when she stood at the gate Looking at the distant sun moving with the clouds while the trees rock with the speed of the wind and heavens composed a wonderful hymn, it was the Sunday school song that was playing in her head of how the Roman Soldiers bury their dead when the battle ends. There...

Premium Member Love at Eight
I waited and I waited just in case she’d been delayed I stood there feeling foolish, though I acted undismayed A movie and some popcorn might have won her pretty smile And I was very keen and so I waited quite a while Perhaps she didn’t like the fact I had a missing tooth I’d heard another one would...

The Buddha Meets Christmas
In the soft glow of a December moon, Beneath the banyan tree where silence blooms, The Buddha sat, Eyes closed, heart open, Listening to the whisper of winter's breath. A star pierced the dark velvet sky, Its light falling like snowflakes upon the earth. It spoke not of kingdoms or thrones, But of a manger’s quiet humility, Of a child swaddled in simplicity, Love cradling...

Vix is the mixer and sets up the stage. Comet plays guitar without restraint. Cupid plays a flute, but he's always late. Dons on the drums, he sets the...

Premium Member To Mary Grace at Twenty-Eight
Your steps so measured, soft and slow, Through Irish streets where neon glows, While I match pace, half-step behind, Your gentle rhythm fills my mind. Tomorrow brings your twenty-eight, As Newbridge glows through Darragh's rain, Like Naevis' light through darkened skies, Where æ-dreams dance and harmonize. Sweet Mary Grace, my Savage star, From Milner Square to Kildare far, Your spirit bridges every space, My anchor home,...

Stopping by early, soon it will be Christmas Day, Shiny gifts, inviting bows, ‘neath the tree do lay, Hot, mulled apple cider in red glass, deer mugs. Magnificent family with endless,warm, love hugs!
