Now and Forever: a love story The dream was back--so were the eyes. They hovered in an angry sky just above the horizon, seeing everything but focusing on nothing. Amy knew those eyes—knew a time when they’d been filled with happiness and a love of life. But that had been before her brother came back from Vietnam. Young, naked, and skinny, she stood alone and vulnerable on a hill surrounded by flames where everything kept...

Where was he? Nothing looked familiar to him. He was in a white room and it was empty. People were yelling around him but he didn't see anyone. Someone was running past him and felt air rush by his face. Reaching up, he touched his face and pulled his hand back when he felt something wet. Looking down, he was blood. He touched his face again to find more blood. Pulling off his shirt, he noticed it was covered in mud and h...

Vince remained hospitalized for one month before he was released. The police interviewed him about the attack a week later when the Doctor believed that he was strong enough to answer questions. The detective appeared as concerned as much as his profession allowed "So, were you alone that night?" "Yes." "The emergency center got a call saying a man was being beaten in the cemetery, and the caller sounded female.""Maybe on...

Although he did not know it It was the rise and fall of this poet. Words are a universal language all by itself It could take you to heaven, or bring you down to hell. Words are like rivers, streams and oceans Moving freely with emotion. The slightest ripple is a creation Of love, joy, sadness and devastation. Everyone is different from each other Opening poets mind- making him wonder. Now his mind has become like a glaci...

I should have held you like a lifeline,  and I should have never let you go. But when I needed saving. I always did it on my own! Slipping from my hands, now I feel all alone. You turned your back on me, how could you be oh so cold! I would've been yours, you would've been mine. why, oh why, couldn't I open my eyes. I stand here now, and I realize. You would've been mine. I dreamed of being with you. And share our passion...

I wince at the slight sting, my eyes squeezing shut. It faded away quickly and I reopened my eyes; this time prepared for it. The door was open just slightly enough for light to seep through. There must be a window out in the hallway. I fel...
