Aperture
Aperture Shivering against the wretched cold As clouds bunch up in cerulean sky. Thoughts jumble into a tangled knot Like a splinter festering in the minds eye. Irreverent winds unharnessed by hula hoop, Robins cavort yet stray snowflakes linger. Old man winter wields one final blast, The trigger pulled by unsteady finger. Stark charactersContinue reading “Aperture”
Into the Sun’s Embrace
Into the Sun’s Embrace One life lived in limbo, teetering on the brink. You swim against strong currents as all hope begins to sink. Stripped of all belongings and rendered colorblind; Restless nights and wasted time, the past has been unkind. You stand alone in judgment and utter truthful words. They echo in the brittleContinue reading “Into the Sun’s Embrace”

Shadows of My Father ~ The Poem and The Book
Shadows of My Father As a child, I walked through the park hand in hand with my father. Brimming with energy and innocence, I played a game of hide and seek, jumping into his enormous shadow. My elfin figure was gobbled up by his lumbering adumbration, stretching long across the path illuminated by the springtimeContinue reading “Shadows of My Father ~ The Poem and The Book”
Paradise
Paradise A balmy breeze ruffled the palm trees as they lay in the sun, in the sanctuary of their wooden cabana. The gentle surf tumbled and pushed forth, leaving ripple marks in the sugar soft sand.

The Cartographer’s Last Request
The Cartographer’s Last Request Long ago he etched the seas, scaled distant mountains and traversed dense jungles, this drawer of lines, wielding astrolabe and pen with masterful precision. A dust-laden mahogany desk bears witness to his labors: tarnished sextant, musty gilt-edged tomes, barren inkwell… tools of his trade, this dying art. He whispers with gravelContinue reading “The Cartographer’s Last Request”
