Poet Introduction
“You write your first draft with your heart. And you rewrite with your head..; the first key to writing, is…to write; not to think.” - William Forrester, Finding Forrester
Tiger lily
The constellations,
Maybe,
Gather round;
Their collective gaze
To the ground:
Eyeing curiously this
Font of mirth,
This wild blossom,
This gem of earth.

Autumn
Winter’s breath
on Autumn trees:
Silver-laced,
the golden leaves.

August
The August rain
Sudden grey
Swift but rich
Goes the day
Sunset comes
Colors play
In a sky of
Shifting rays
And night deepens
And stars array
And in the heavens
The moon does stray
Sudden grey
Swift but rich
Goes the day
Sunset comes
Colors play
In a sky of
Shifting rays
And night deepens
And stars array
And in the heavens
The moon does stray

Intoxicating
I put
To my lips
Every kind of liquor,
Simply
Trying
To replicate
Your
Intoxicating kiss…
But,
It’s all
Amiss.

Heart
There’s blood
Dripping
Off the veins
About my aorta,
As though
She’d just
Ripped it out
Last Thursday.

Gloaming
Love,
Let’s lay out in
A field of wildflowers,
In lavender air
And evening glow,
Breathing deep
And kissing slow.

Summer’s dance (Titles)
Lost in a moment
Between sunflowers’
Shadow of former glory;
The silent twilight
Winds of autumn
Follow me.

Lilies
The lilies of the valley
Peal joyously,
Heralding the bride;
My heart only knows
How warmly she glows,
Standing by my side.

Crave
I burn
Constantly;
Unspeakable ache,
Immeasurable weight,
Utter,
Heedless desire;
I burn
For the glance
Of her downy soft skin,
Like a field of lilies
Waking in cool dew
Under a rising sun;
I ache
To caress her body
With mine,
To taste her,
To dress her in
Slow and heavy kisses;
To veil my every longing
In her beauty,
To breathe together
The summer evening and
Draw close
On winter morns;
I crave her,
In every way unwritten way.

To dress her in
Slow and heavy kisses;
To veil my every longing
In her beauty,
