My stories

Poetry Plead

Remember rhyming schemes can seem overly keen And religion is rather contentious. A limerick's too light and a little bit trite And free verse is somehow pretentious. Haiku is not only for trees

Confession

The magnetic pull of absolution leaves me scrabbling for a faith that isn't here. An ache that cannot be eased by the bliss of the box. Dark, cool wood scent cannot wash away the stain which mars me.

I Weep as I Try to Deserve You

Each small oblivious act of grace bestowed upon me Is both a joy and a pin prick. As conscience needles; the day blackens, And your kindness gilds a hopelessly tarnished soul.

But we take it all so well...

You call it 'not Art' without malice; just effect

The Season Exhales

The World creeks like an old clock as it cools and slows down, Rested light lingers and thinks of nothing.
