Eron’s Strife
Far below him, the village burned. Eron’s right foot clanged down on the next dusty step, and the rest of his body paused. He closed his eyes, and with mouth closed, took in a deep breath through his nose. A pungent stench of leather, salty-sweat, and blood, rippled through his nostrils, and the bouquet caused […]
Waking moments
Every waking moment I think of the bright glimmer in your eyes The softness and warmth of your skin Each gentle curve of your body The grace of your movements That gentle lift of your lips when you smile The way your hair swirls when your head tilts back How music rings in the air […]
The greatest of gifts
What can you give of jewelry? All that I can and more What of the gift of matrimony? As soon as I can afford. What of supplying a residency? I’ll find a home and we will stay. What of a sense of security? I’ll protect of you always. What of degrees of the leisurely? I’ll […]
Today is your happiness
Wait not for the next sunrise. Seek not a chance down the line. Yearn not for a time beyond today Crave not a future bliss. But, Do take pleasure in each breath Do wake and smile warmly Do spread love in your meetings Do speak your kind words. For happiness is not discovered later. Happiness […]
Please hold the light
Think of the lighthouse. It is forever rooted to its place along a rocky shore. It is a tall, elegant, monolith. The lighthouse braves the typhoon, it faces the crashing waves, it is immovable against hail, gale, and squall. The lighthouse bears the blaze of burning sun, faces the chills of freezing rain, and stares […]
Awake and Happy
The warm rays of sunlight shine through your window. Rise. You stretch your wonderfully functioning body towards the sky. Shine. A blissful sounding chorus of songbirds graces your ears. Rise! You allow a warm, full, radiant smile to stretch from ear to ear. Shine! A popping sound of percolation comes with the smell of coffee. […]
Eron’s Gift
She lay in the bed an arms length from him. Even in her incomprehensible stillness, when Eron looked at her, the beats of his heart skipped when he gazed upon her beauty. Though he could barely see the rise and fall of her chest, and though her skin was a deathly shade of pale, the […]
Eron’s Desire
Eron strolled across the sun-warmed cobblestones. The noonday sun warmed the roofs of the nearby houses. It warmed the wooden slats covering the sporadic stalls offering knick-knacks and frivolities that he passed during his casual walk. It gave heat to the signpost that he touched at the intersection of two major streets. It felt good, […]
The Seven Ton Shade
Many years ago, I had a horrible, but unforgettable experience. It was mid-afternoon, and I was visiting my parents at their home. A wave of weariness overcame me and I begged leave of them for a short nap. Being the kind and wonderful folks that they are, they urged me to use the rear guest […]
