I am a flower petal fallen to earth, shattered. A piece in a game, a pawn in a machine. Gears turn, but no one’s home. Silent stimuli, irresistible impulse—manufactured desire. I am aware, sifting through messages of my own repair.

I see you
in the majestic & the forlorn
a depressive state
bereft
of indifference, and of alienation
tales
of evenings
alone
a soldered heart
wanting to learn more
about peace
and love
a tangent scale to climb
when
hanging
upside down from
the clouds
in the starry sky

I am always honored to have my poetry in MasticadoresIndia and MasticadoresUSA. It is a blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Terveen, and Barbara for always supporting my work; and, thank you to each of you for continuing to read, like, and comment on my poems on these two exceptional online magazines.
Here are my two newest pieces.
I would be honored if you would read them when you have a moment, thank you!
A good friend of mine and publisher of #1 Amazon Bestseller Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow, Ingrid Wilson, released a new book recently. Archery In The UK is a collaboration with Nick Reeves, and is a beautiful and passionate book.
Once I started reading Archery In The UK it was hard to put down. The book mixes poetic forms, inviting the reader on a journey of beautifully flowing language, touching hearts, and minds, and leaving me teary-eyed, joyful, and inspired. It is an amazing collaboration.
I highly recommend Archery in the UK, which you can purchase on Amazon here.
The Light in The Cave, by Tricia Sankey is a wonderful Novela full of richly crafted details, and characters developed with depth, and an intensity that fills the reader with a desire to read more, and more. I enjoyed the way Tricia developed the characters and the plot line in a way that left me guessing as to the story behind the story until well into the later chapters, which is where we find that the characters we’ve come to know and love are not exactly who we thought they were. The Light in The Cave is an amazing work of science fiction. I highly recommend reading this wonderful book.
