New Release!

I have released my new collection of poems on Amazon.  BLOOM TO FADE speaks of love from its inception to the bitter end to survival. These poems span a lifetime.  Some are personal.  Some are written from the point of view of people I've known or characters in stories I've written.  Here's the first poem in BLOOM TO FADE:

Duas medietates occursum
Factus totum
Et consumet unum alius
numen avertat

 Two halves meet

Become a whole

And destroy one another

God forbid

That first moment when your eyes meet and you feel all the feels and you want to melt.  It's all in there.  So order it from Amazon and give it a read!

RELIEF

How I crave to be held

By a lover’s gaze

Held by his eyes

Unable to escape

As his lips approach

And his arms embrace

The world is heavy

And I crave relief

A drought of

Passionate haze

To rise above

The drowning waves

Heated and misty

My eyes steam like his

Burning with visions

Of things forbidden

Still we stay locked

A swagger in time

Forgotten for a moment

The world left behind
