Poet Introduction
Subtle use of language and metaphors exemplify the range of human emotions. Displaying in "word" that which cannot be seen by the eye is true poetry.

Though You Taunt I Still Pursue
My Love,
With countenance of will and mind
I bow before you graciously
who more determined shall you find
to please your heart so thoroughly.
Should I discover you in song
the tune and lyrics must admit
that you are she that I adore
with giving eyes and thoughtful lips.
I wade into a serene lake
that looks as if an earthen sky
reflecting birds that swoop and mate
within the boundaries of my eye.
I run and bristle through the trees
in wild gardens lush and rich
my words come calling like the...

Black Rose Drips With Red, (Love Letters To A Lady Of Renown)
Dear Lady,
loquacious in your speech,
disregarding all interest in conciliatory gestures
I send this delicate rose,
with black scented petals,
in the hopes that it should make a lasting peace.
Distilling an aroma of mystery,
its slender aborigine stem
lined and edged with jagged thorns
threads and weaves trustingly
reaching outward in the blind,
the essence of dark longing.
Black laced is its beauty
as my mind envisions all parts of you;
and sweeter still the outer swell
that I breathe in...

Female Essence I Adore
Here forever her spirit's glow
that trines the vestiges of grace
and burns throughout her largess soul
in the munificence of space.
Equating her aquiline form,
full exhortations of her sphere
above the mist and earthly storm
from her pearl light's refracting tears;
beneath the shroud of her wan face
through the mystery of her orb,
her sweeping hemline's timeless cape,
the female essence I adore.
(My vision of the feminine mystique of the Moon)
that trines the vestiges of grace
and burns throughout her largess soul
in the munificence of space.
Equating her aquiline form,
full exhortations of her sphere
above the mist and earthly storm
from her pearl light's refracting tears;
beneath the shroud of her wan face
through the mystery of her orb,
her sweeping hemline's timeless cape,
the female essence I adore.

Is This Not How The Greatest Love Is Born
Earnestly love pines to the highest grace
with lessons from the faiths then to compare,
dimly shines the light on its hopeless face
when darkness sows the seeds of its despair.
Should heart meet soul must not their worlds combine
or suffer in exclusion both alone;
if passion strikes the spark inflaming mind
is this not how the greatest love is born?
with lessons from the faiths then to compare,
dimly shines the light on its hopeless face
when darkness sows the seeds of its despair.
Should heart meet soul must not their worlds combine
or suffer in exclusion both alone;
if passion strikes the spark inflaming mind
is this not how the greatest love is born?

Delicately Hidden Smile
I am in love with your words
and eloquent womanly style;
I am in love with your looks
and delicately hidden smile,
I am in love with mystique
and the stanzas that refuse
to expose every part of you
to the scrutiny of my view.

Gods That Show No Mercy
Embalming hearts with fledgling love
then raped in boggy moors,
sailing tender ships of hope
that line the ocean's floor.
The fervor of religious feast
and the pompadour's of faith,
the twisted logic that ensues
when one is full of hate.
Passing of the chalice rounds
as each one takes a sip;
gods that show no mercy,
in their palms the bloodied whip.

Contenting Love Once Copiously Poured, "Love Letters to a Lady of Renown"
Within the tendrils of your soft embrace
may I not be too weak in words to find
a worthy phrase to celebrate this place
nor waver unsteadily as I climb
for in each thread that my design must choose
if but one unravels, the whole to lose.
Engaged by the novelties of your will
I rest between the pages soon to turn
engendering each moment as I till
unearthing fragments of a broken urn
contenting love once copiously poured
though destroyed now twice, may the third restore?
Contained within the passion of your kiss ...

I Laid Down My Sword
I laid down my sword and followed my Queen
bade me inside the torch lit corridor,
twelve dark roses on the mosaic floor,
she unhinged the lock with a golden key.
I remember this all my days at sea
when I came to her through her chambers door
I laid down my sword and followed my Queen
twelve dark roses on the mosaic floor.
And all her tears, and pride, and royalty
that stirs my passion with a lion's roar
this complex meaning to a simple chore
in a world of blue and quintessence green
I laid down my sword and followed...

How When I Will Reach You
How when I will reach you;
I will climb tall to you mountains,
I will flow swift to you fountains,
I will fly high to you breeze strong,
I will sing notes to you wind song,
I will walk with you share air,
I will breathe to you scent hair,
I will look gently to you fair form,
I will beg to see you eyes turn,
I will touch to you sweet face,
I will bow to you proud grace,
I will turn you to gaze round,
I in you to be found.

All That Came Have Come Before Me
All that came have come before me
beacons lighting from the past,
streams run swiftly down the mountain
rocks worn smoother as they pass.
Forests overgrown in wonder;
trees pressed up against the sky,
flowers teaching ways of beauty
to the sun’s all seeing eye.
All I am and I becoming
carried like the seeds of spring
growing in the breath of summer
covered by the falling leaves.
Then in stillness I departing
chilled by the cold winter’s breeze,
all that came have come before me
water lilies on the...
