Gossamer

These poems don’t rhyme.

This bundle of 17 poems explore a lifetime of emotions from love to heartbreak, and happiness to pain. A rollercoaster of intensity from the heights of Moonstruck to the depths of Dungeoned Deep.

Plus no poetry collection would be complete without a pirate poem and ode to chocolate cake.

Excerpts

No Promises

Qualifying your affection.

No promises, guarantees…so afraid

I’ll overestimate commitment.

Your fear seems desperate

as a butterfly

escaping the net.

But I am no collector.

I have no pins

to pierce your heart.

Only hands to capture

a fleeting moment

of cherished flight together.

Resigned to release you.

No promises, guarantees…so afraid

when season’s end must come.

Dream Machines

I dream of a machine

wired

brain to brain

they hear

exactly what I hear

I dream of a machine

potato head inspired

ears snap off

new snap on

rewired brain

Silence
