Love

A Bull in the Sky with a Broken Heart
His right pinky was an inch away from my left and that space in between was lit with the energy of the galaxies far beyond and above us. We had our backs flush to the ground, our feet firmly pressed in the grass and our eyes fixed up at the sky.

Cowboy Poetry
I loved her when it was dark outside, because the light exposed a multitude of sins and scuffs that I didn’t want anyone to see.

An Uncommon Friendship
The boy had been standing in the same spot for over an hour. As I watched my son Adam from my familiar perch of the kitchen window I noticed how the late autumn afternoon light illuminated his outline with an angelic orb that surrounded him. How many times had she stood right here washing dishes, Enjoying the day without fear or worry?

Death and the Cosmic Washing Machine
WIDER, DEEPER. FARTHER. I had never experienced death this serenely before. Flashes of white, a tunnel to my left. They normally got me that way.

I Love You, Samantha
I don’t believe it!! This is not happening!! Am I dreaming? My thoughts started to swirl together, as if an F5 Tornado had touched down in my head. I winced from pinching my forearm, causing a sharp pain that tingled as it spread through the nerves up my arm, like wildfire. This can’t be real; I won’t accept it. I can’t handle this.

Lover's Festival
A farmer's daughter was so fair, and a banker's son was so charming; to be wed only in death's bed. These lyrics have always haunted my thoughts of love. I suppose they shaped my childhood notions. It was the rhyme we all heard as children in our small town. They sang it every year for the Lover’s Festival. The town had turned an old lover’s fable into hopeful merriment. We sang, we made wishes, and we prayed for love.

The Wish
Alaric was always pleased by the autumn time. For some reason the season warmed his inner soul. He would often imagine being embraced by the soft coziness of the inside, while acknowledging the growing cold that intensified outside. This gave Alaric peace. However, with the summer having left, so too went Alaric's bright & sunny mood.

Man on a Cliff
A lone man stands at the edge of the cliff, rocks descending for hundreds of feet below. Water laps against the stone at the bottom, eating away at years of compressed minerals. The sky stays overcast with marshmallow clouds; the green hills and grey, rocky cliffs stretched for miles. The man wore a beige cotton button-up tucked into khaki pants with suspenders over his shoulders and worn brown loafers. A Sunday evening, the church let out.
