Three Love Songs


First is from the one that’s filled with fear,

Listen close and you will likely hear

Long and fond drones on the song that’s wrong:


“Prove your love and read my mind right now.

Hit the mark and do not ask me how

Know what triggers me before I do

Or I will bleed all over you.


“You must live to give me what I need –

Broken, faithful, thoughtless heartless steed.

You should know where I want us to go

Kick and prod until you know.”



Second song is from my voice within;

A secret silent solemn hidden hymn.

Now alone I own this homely tone: 


“I was young and hoped that older me

Always thought and worked to keep me free.

Now I’m old and lost the little boy –

Shunned him for her fragile joy.


“Though we fight and bite and steal and cry

You will always be my little guy.

Though our bond is one we cannot see

We will make our selfs good company.”


Third comes from the one I thought I’d lost,

Her kiss and touch it came at such great cost.

Blue, you flew and coo the truest tune:


“We had gone our separate happy way 

Days of romance locked in memory. 

Though we do not fear being alone

Why do we still yearn to make a home?

 

“I am strong and you will also see

Love is kind and good and free from me.

You might hurt me every single day

Yet still I choose you anyway.”

The Wolf and the Midwife

Katelin knew her parents didn’t like her going into the forest alone. People stronger and smarter than Katelin often did not come back. Yet she went anyway; all the time. Katelin had long red hair that flowed in curls, over her shoulders and down her back. She usually had her hair tied up, but today was special.  But it wasn’t her hair that alerted the wolf that she had returned that day– it was her smell. Katelin was the village midwife, and she had just delivered a baby yesterday. Though her hands were scrubbed clean, the wolf could still smell the blood from at least a mile away. He wondered if her hair would be down or not. He began running as fast as he could to her.  Katelin knew the forest was dangerous. And truth be told, that’s one of the reasons she came so frequently. But what she told herself was that she came for the flowers that only grew in the wild forest. It was a tradition of hers to give them to the women who had just delivered their babies. Whether they wou...

The Madonna Mission: P R E F A C E

The year of the Madonna Mission was 3598.  Russia destroyed America with four nuclear bombings in the year 2105. In retaliation, Europe sent two nukes to Russia. The world was in shock. National borders completely dissolved and all infrastructure collapsed. The devastation of World War III plummeted humanity into another dark age. This went on for several hundred years. New nations rose from the ashes and began to rebuild. When tribal anarchy subsided and international communication was restored in the late 2,500’s — it took only 150 years for technology to be restored to its peak performance before WWIII. The world was pulled out of its second dark age. With diplomacy resumed, accountability was quickly established for nuclear warfare unanimously by every new nation.  Commercial space travel development provided for the colonization of Mars. The first colony was established in the year 3152. Not long after the colonization — the New World Order (NWO) launched a premeditated w...

The Bold Woman

The year was 1895 in Dromore, Ireland. America had been teeming for over a century and almost everyone yearned to travel there. Among the dreamers was a young girl named Jennie-Lynne. Jennie-Lynne lived with a wealthy family, she had many siblings and two good and righteous parents. Though her parents had a bit of a temper, they had the biggest hearts and the sharpest minds. Being just over the ripe age of 16, and the oldest of her siblings, Jennie-Lynne often found it her responsibility to tell her younger brothers and sisters what to do. She did her best to rule over them in kindness, mercy and justice — but when her younger brother Daniel stuck his wet hard candy in her hair it all went out the window. However, Jennie-Lynne knew if she yelled in anger her father would come down and snap at her. So she found another way to seek her revenge on little Daniel.  One evening after Daniel had drawn a picture and went to her seeking validation, she said rationally and relatively calmly,...
