My Fellow Veterans

For all those who have ever done field KP in an MKT hundreds of miles from civilization To those who still get chills during roll call at memorial services If you’ve ever donned your protective mask praying you are just fast enough To all of you who’ve ever boarded a plane wondering if you wereContinue reading “My Fellow Veterans”

One Road

One Road Alone – Gets longer with every disappointment  One Road Alone – Is Well Lit, But All One Sees is road  One Road Alone – Is remarkably familiar One Road Alone – Is Cold…but not unfriendly  One Road Alone – Got me to where I am , and is mine alone

Ralph’s first exercise

Ralph Castillo had always enjoyed entertaining people with stories. I didn’t matter if the stories were his or not…but if those stories by him, those were his favorites. T​he tales of the ancient mythologies intrigued him. By far, his favorite reading matter – he devoured the books in his library on Greek, Roman, Norse andContinue reading “Ralph’s first exercise”

Intro

In the beginning, there was nothing.  then, because nothing cannot be, something came. It was, as nothing, without description and impossible. It caused the impossible to be. It defined all description to come.  It destroyed the nothing, in as much as nothing can be destroyed. It had no name and no needs. It cared notContinue reading “Intro”

The Journey

All eyes gaze upon the journey. All stars from the blue to the red. The moon tells the sun. When I grow up, I want to be like you. The sun tells the planets. Gather round so I may guide you. Leaving home to the outer reaches of space, the universe. Moving their families along,Continue reading “The Journey”

Playing for keeps

I thought this was supposed to be a game. I didn’t realize I would have been inserted into a wild wild world of chaos. I certainly would not have agreed to the plan. Serves me right for reading the flyers in the comic book store. It all began with a call to a toll-free number.Continue reading “Playing for keeps”

A Subtle Introduction

The most recent addition to the group set everyone at unease. The roguish, good looking youth was of an undeterminable age. He spoke little and glared from under his dark hood. He was added almost an afterthought because the party was light in the warrior department, and he was armed with a variety of bladesContinue reading “A Subtle Introduction”

A Vision

Clouds part before her – not much more than a child A light stirred within her – saw more than with eyes A world, people in peril – knew not their sad plight Dark nameless forces  – in strength – had sent forth their call: To war!   From town and from home was pulledContinue reading “A Vision”

A Son’s Tale

This past Sunday would have been my father’s 75th birthday (or 74th for some people who insist he was born in 1945). The point being that he was always teaching us something. Either a lesson in life, or trying to teach us valuable skills (which we resisted at every turn). Julio Rafael Castillo, Jr wasContinue reading “A Son’s Tale”

I Just Have to Ask

Before daybreak, my thoughts begin There’s so much here, I had to give in A call, a note to start it all For far too long your name’s been gone   They run amok, these lofty talks Or so, I think, if you’ll just let me start So much is lost and never missed WeContinue reading “I Just Have to Ask”
