A tower of strength Muscle and bone Terror and love Pride and insecurities Never satisfied and secure Childhood stories A lost watch A bicycle taken away Resentments Never forgiven Paternal love Lost at fourteen Too early Sweatshops and pushcarts Feeling the brute A life of work A life of poetry A life of talking with…… Continue reading Dad

Help me grow…
As far as I’ve been able to figure out, which actually is pretty difficult to do, this blog is reaching between 100 and 150 people between wordpress, facebook, linked in and twitter. I’ve been letting it grow “organically”, back following other bloggers, handing out business cards as I run into people I think might be…… Continue reading Help me grow…
Venus at midnight
I see your limbs akimbo Like staggered moonlit beams Your face lit in the starlight there It brings such thoughts to me The moving shadows branches shake Add to the scene You pose upon bended knee Arch your back with ease Comfort your young lover there As she cries fitfully Soon her sobs turn into…… Continue reading Venus at midnight

Reimagined
Longtime hid behind the mask Imagined strips of clay Hiding self and glory dim Waiting for the day Sleep awhile and wake with morn Marvels wait within Sleepy eyes behold new hope Rising without sin Dance around the fairy ring Contra creed and faith Till the magic portal makes A passage to new grace Emerge…… Continue reading Reimagined
Reawakening
The years have past like stately trees Along the moonlit drive Each one brought new joys and fears and sometimes also cries The last ones now have seen the best and the worst of all The journey took from A to Z and trying not to fall The magic day, the dawn so bright it…… Continue reading Reawakening
