Poetry’s Love

Writing again has been nice. It’s been about three years since I’ve posted regularly on WordPress. During that time, my life went through some transformational changes, some painful, all beautiful. Poetry has always remained a backdrop to these changes, and now it has come forward once again. For how long? I don’t know. However, I do know I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. I think that’s true for all areas of life. Don’t you?

My most recent poems are pictured above. I post daily on Instagram, so come see me there when you can.

All the best,

Jeff

Surrender

I am desperation’s surrender—silence.  

Broken Promises

I spent an eternity in love’s shadow, brokenness. Painful aberrations,  noiseless hallways and nightmare promises—fear. Emerging into being, trauma-trapped body remembers the feeling.

Rain

still rain shapes silence

subtle forms shift in shadows
