A true hero
I once sat next to a marine. The scarred warrior was looking at a picture of a red headed girl. I asked if she was his, he said yes. He was a force recon grunt coming back from leave. We exchange tales of valor, in which his exploits made my own pale in comparison. Although a seasoned warrior, he said his toughest fight was still ahead of him. When I asked him what it was, he showed me a...

All that is you
I kissed the rain and Touched the horizon of time Stroke the endless light in the sky. I saw the night smile And the doves cry As days passed by. And I’ve seen the infinity of the sea And its wonderful heights World’s treasures that get a heart to elate. I saw so many beautiful things That kept me in awe, stunning loss of words But never met something beautiful like this ...
The siren's call
Like the songs of sirens your voice calls to me
A net capturing my soul with just a whisper
The warrior within me fights the alluring call
But inevitably succumbed the deep rooted surrender of your beauty.
I often wonder,
Just how many have fallen
knee knocking Before you
As I have?
I open my mouth to speak
But, Alas, no sound…
just what is it about you?
That hauls away my...
Shadow
Shadow beneath my mortal coil
How I long to be in your place
To be able to dance with fire
And not feel the heat of her flame
To be stepped on and not feel the pain.
I yearn to disappear into the night
As you do
And live in the world of darkness
Where we know not of color
Of regrets or judgement.
To know not of envy or love and lost
To be unbound to the hourglass
And the shackles of...

To my hevenly father I pray
Oh heavenly father, I kneel every night and every day To you my lord I pray and pray So lord to you I ask, now that lost my way Why is it that good people you take away? Those I hold dear you take, While those that kill and dump in lakes Get to see morning wake after wake On my knees I cry and cry Until my tears have ran dry I pray, but sometimes I wonder why I should even try. Please lord, give...
The candle's flame
The lighted candle,
Standing tall with its flame’s bright
It knows its flames will fade into darkness
It knows it’s time will come, and one day he will burn out.
He longs to feel the warmth of day, to see blue skies
To mingle with the Earth and stay to dance with the rays of the sunrise.
But he’s trap in a perpetual prison of fear,
If he steps outside, the wind will blow his flame away
So he...
True love, unbound by distance
All love begins with a spark. Those who kindle and nourish that spark will watch it become a roaring fire that no force can extinguish. I came to Boston on business and made a visit to my old friend Xiaoxi Wan for the weekend. The time was eight AM when I had awoken abruptly. I stare at Xiaoxi to find him asleep with his computer still on, placed next to his bedside. I went over to shut it down...
