One Gentle TouchWhere does a love story truly begin?Is it in the first glance, with a mischievous grin;when hearts are still racing and knees grow so weak,and stomachs are churning and confidence is meek?Or is it when hours start to go by so fast,when all you can think is "I hope this will last",and thoughts in your head don'...

MemoriesShe looks outside her window and sees the children play.She watches as they run and squeal at the end of every day.She longs to have those days again, but her body's frail and old,so she sits beside the window, to keep her from the cold.She recalls exactly how it felt, the excitement and the thrill,of capturing the ta...

What's In A Name? (are you kidding me?)My last name is Aycock...pronounced A-cock. Although I am proud of being my father's child, it was hard to get through high school with that name. You understand. To add to my pain and suffering (I avoiding saying our' because my brother was simply not bothered by it...neither was my sis... More..

The ColorsHis tender smile lit up her face,a different time, a different place.But now he's gone and her heart is ice,she had to pay the highest price.Her days are spent in a mindless game,she remembers the day she took his name.She tries to push his memory aside,but her heart is hurt and open wide.She's transparent, wears he...

The Killer AngelsTo look at it now, it's almost impossible to realize the blood that was shed in the fields on a small patch of acreage in East Pennsylvania. Gazing over the meadows, the beauty of the land is an image of serenity and peacefulness, a far cry from the history for which it is famous. The lush, grassy land is pep... More..

The WarWe're in a war on foreign soil, and the price we pay is high.Our lives, our hearts, our souls are shaken at yet one more goodbye.And every day the sun takes its place, another day begun,We pray that not one more life is lost before this day is done.We are shaken as a country, and we're hoping for an endTo the faint and...
