A Shadow, and A Prayer

Tangled weeds thread hope
and despair
through the nub of desire

a sensuous screenplay
evoking memories of you

softened by time
by the wind
and by the telepathy
between two souls destined to begin
again

one moment
mirrors the next
as time becomes irrelevant โ€”
existing

are two
made of one
a shadow, and a prayer

calling down the hopes of another sun

Updates

It was great to drop in on a few of your sites recently and read your amazing poetry and other creative works.

This past year, Iโ€™ve been super busy, both personally and professionally.

Personally, Iโ€™ve taken to traveling and am actually currently typing this blog post in London while my life partner reads upstairs in the hotel we are staying in. Itโ€™s been a wild year, full of love, light, and discomfort too, as Iโ€™ve been asked to grow more and to grow in new ways, yet all of it has been amazing.

Professionally, I and the newly expanded team are doing well. We are currently creating the next academic yearโ€™s work, which requires a lot of strategic thinking and planning.

Though Iโ€™ve not been writing much at all, I am planning to begin to write more each week and to also visit the blogosphere as my schedule allows.

I hope you have all been well.

I am sending you all of my love and blessings.

Jeff

still breathing you in…, Published at MasticadoresUSA

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, still breathing you inโ€ฆ, is now available at MasticadoresUSA. A big thank you to Gabriela Marie Milton, and the team at MasticadoresUSA for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

still breathing you inโ€ฆ

the last time I saw you, Coltrane was spinning,
and there was this feeling, a rose in your
hair,
cunning, and
fair

while music billowed out, raspy, deep sounds filtering
throughout,
andโ€ฆ

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!
