this poem appears in my volume Selected Poems and Passions: 1972 - 2011, and is from 1998. it is called "brisant revelations" and it is to and of my ex-wife Ann. #poetrysky #booksky #author #passion

The second poem of the set that began with "Dram" is this one. Written a few years later when she asked me to lunch. It was a stressful time for me and I was very attracted to her, though I did not stray. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance

it was many years ago, in my apartment on Venice Boulevard. I met a memorable young woman. this poem, and the poem "Cithara Song, strummed lightly as the sun leaps the horizon" were born of our encounters. I hope she remembers me. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance

from Quintessence, "Bragi to Freya, on his deathbed"

#resist #resistance #USA #poetrysky #author nearly a decade ago I wrote this piece in reaction to the ludicrous result of that year's Presidential election. It still holds true, even more so, today...

in 2016, amidst bouts of dry-heaving at what had just happened in that year's election...I wrote this, a piece full of fear and hope a defiance: #poetrysky #author #poem #America

Awakend from a life, I dream. This poem, more than 3 decades old, does not appear in any of my Venetian Spider Press compilations, an oversight. #poetrysky #author #life #death

there is a sort of triumphant joy of unearthing a piece from 30 years ago which did not find its way, as of yet, into my hardback Venetian Spider Press volumes (which accounts for about 7% of my archived outputs). A line from this poem became a memory-worm, and I had to find it.

A quarter century has passed since I penned (literally) this poem to a woman of my more than my acquaintance. It has endured and won its share of awards along the road #poetrysky #romance #love #immortality #muse #booksky #author

from my upcoming book, a rumination on past and current failed romances. #poetrysky #author #booksky
