Tok tick turn back the clock. Tok tick send me back. Cruelest master time, is love such a crime? You take it all and give none back. All I want is one more day to say I love you one last time. The hour chimes near til the day we can hear the reapers calling. Turn back time I cry! Just another day. Time makes you forget, makes you cover the pain. A long lost lover you could barely recover. Would one more day make me recover or one more day to burn in the loss of what was perfection. This loss is no just cause. Strikes down the whole human race. Running in place but losing the race. We cannot win, for time.... Is the cruelest master.

I enjoy writing in many genres. My favorite is horror, but I also enjoy poetry, romance and military life. I love the challenge of writing outside my comfort zone as a challenge. I live in Riverside, California and have 5 daughters.

Insanity
The fires streak to heaven and fields burn. The earth trembles and man’s lesson is learned. Skies light is a funeral pyre and man’s fate is like a quagmire. Brilliant sounds of alarms as chaos reigns, from up above the hell it rains. Panic stricken run for cover, this is no time to love one another. The beast awoke and death it stroke, the rubble and smoke makes me choke. How could we provoke so many words misspoke? There is no cover and this end to come. Death from above, at least we strike back, assured mutual destruction no one will win. We die with the sin of so many souls taken, mankind is forsaken. A brilliant flash, avert my eyes. Skin burns so hot I nearly forgot. Fall down houses of cards the hot wind blows. Cry out in vain, wreak havoc in pain. I steal one last breath as I lay skyward. My last vision of life like a steel cold knife, the fiery boom of a mushroom cloud. I hope both sides are proud as I try to scream so loud. Within a blink life fades, no more pain. All mankind has gone insane.
