⚡Thunderstruck⚡

“Roxy—where we goin’?”

“Texas.

Break all the rules.”

She leans in—

“You’ve been thunderstruck.” ⚡️

She smiles.

Bang.

Bang.

Roxy’s my rocket—

no brakes, all sky!

Blessings rain down,

luck don’t knock—

it rides with me.

Friends outta nowhere,

smiles that stick.

Spillin’ secrets—

how I hook 🪝, how I roll…

then eat ’em too.

(Fish—the tasty kind.) 🐟

She pauses—

eyes narrow.

“Oh no…

he talkin’ smack.”

Funny. Conceited. Bossy. A weenie—

…still, I like it.

Flames rise—

don’t cool off—

Hotter. 🔥

Another drink?

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
