Happily married with two grown children out on their own, I've had extensive life experience in many areas. I consider myself a Progressive, and I strive to make the world a better place for those around me and those who'll follow after us. I am an Air Force Veteran, and I have been a Telecommunications Technician since 1993, with a Vocational Diploma in Aircraft Electronics. My interests are Environmentalism, Science, Social Justice, Poetry and Music, Reading, Karate, and learning Spanish. I'm originally from Southern Wisconsin, and have lived in the Chicago Metro area (Naperville, Plainfield, & Oak Brook) since late 1997.

At The Edge Of Sleep...

At The Edge Of Sleep...

If a heartbeat could fly out of the shadows in the West,
And a dream could swim in a sea of sunlight,
I could dance on stardust,
Listening to love played in soft notes,
Hearing the perfect pitch of teardrops,
Falling in joy at our feet.

The sky would be that perfect twilight prism,
Black with stars and bands of red and blue,
Comets would play in the heavens,
Angels would rearrange the constellations,
Drawing a heart Eros shot clean through,
And while the setting sun is burning in your eyes,
I'm thanking God my arms are full.

As the night fades to silence,
Punctuated by a whispering breeze,
I'll lie here with windows open holding your hand,
Feeling touched by God just to hear you breathe.
