POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My most favorite poets are the British romantics. My own writing ranges widely in themes and form, including sonnets, haikus, free verse and blank verse some of which appears in two collections: Of Pain and Ecstasy and Echoes of Dawn at Dusk.

Why I Write Science Fiction
I am an author,
Mostly of non-fiction works,
They are where I live.
I also write poems,
About themes deeply rooted,
In my heart and soul.
Yet of all I write,
I'm arguably most free,
In my SF worlds.
Past, present, future,
Coexist in harmony,
Unchained from what is.
False utopias,
Unmasked as dystopias,
Clung to by blind fools.
Imagination,
Freed from mind-forged manacles,
Can discover truth.
Physics' laws repealed,
Coloring outside the box,
Of what's...

Heaven's Pull Grows Strong
We are chained to earth,
By our hopes, dreams, appetites,
And loved ones still here.
But the bonds weaken,
As we experience loss,
Of those we most love.
Eventually,
Heaven wins the tug of war,
As grief seeks release.
And spirit flies free,
Its chains snapped by heaven's pull,
Towards those we love.
Thus we fallen rise,
If our lives made us worthy,
By the Grace of God.
Lonely, lost no more,
Open arms awaiting us,
To welcome us home.
By our hopes, dreams, appetites,
And loved ones still here.
But the bonds weaken,
As we experience loss,
Of those we most love.
Eventually,
Heaven wins the tug of war,
As grief seeks release.
And spirit flies free,
Its chains snapped by heaven's pull,
Towards those we love.
Thus we fallen rise,
If our lives made us worthy,
By the Grace of God.
Lonely, lost no more,
Open arms awaiting us,
To welcome us home.
