I like poetry, and I like to write a lot of it.  I've gotten some of it published -- don't know if it was because it was good or if it was just because they wanted me to buy the book, but hey, whatever!  Got my name in the annals, if nothing else.

I've added a few of my poems - hope you enjoy them.  I figure that having my own website is like having a captive audience, right?

If you'd like to submit some of your work, send it on and if the content works, I'll post it here.

Woman-Moth

I morph
From me to moth.
Intent on mission.

I fly to the light
Beat my wings against
Lantern’s cold glass.

Frantic, frantic
I penetrate its casing
Sighing, flinging fluttering body into flame.

Wings folded, I burn, I burn, a woman-moth,
Until the me I is am no more
Ecstatic in the fire.

Lola

I Am

I am

     not the sun,

     not the moon,

     not the stars,

     not any one of these.

I am them all.

Lola

 Longing for the Moon

Standing on all fours, ragged

Wolf’s head tilted way up

He howls hungrily

for Her.

Longing for Her beauty, radiance, and glow.

Heart crying through his voice

at Her majestic aloofness,

Longing for what could never be.

Sounds of his despair ripping through canine teeth

Guttural and forceful, telling Her

he wanted Her

For his very own.

To have her golden rays

Touch only him.

Shine on only him.

Light the way for only him.

But even as he begged for Her

in his rough wolf’s way,

He knew She would never be

his,

For She, his magic molten moon,

Belonged only to God.

Lola
