I'm thrilled to announce that Medusa's Kitchen published five of my poems today. Thank you, Kathy Kieth, for publishing them! Please visit Medusa's Kitchen and show them your support. Thank you!
Here are the first lines for each poem:
Shelter
I felt you smiling at me in the dark.
My heart leaped with innocent, untarnished joy. . .
Mother's Day
Mother's Day brought storm clouds into your eyes,
Thunderclaps of anger,
And memories too deep and painful to ignore. . .
Unbearable
I stand at the edge of eternity, gazing out over the abyss.
The darkness breathes like a living animal. . .
Indulgence
You feast on sweet fantasies
Of naked bodies mingling in the dark
And yearn for the honey-dipped words
I drop in your ears. . .
Father Sun
Father Sun rises from his bed with boastful pride,
A mighty warrior from the East
Waving his fiery sword across the heavens. . .
