Tonight the poet inside me is dead
She is a fallen angel
Confused over why she was ever given wings
Her heart aches and strains
At lost words and tortured emotions
She knows both heartache and strength
Yet falters over words and
Stumbles past syllables
Tonight this young poet cries
Her tears a faded echo
Among closed books and capped pens
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
You definitely got the poet in you.
Be safe,
