Stick figure of sadness
Little line legs trembled
Detail distorted to resemble
Tear drop dots assembled
Alone on a single sheet of absence
The circle sun masking evidence
Of the favored form of defense
For the one, the alone
Shadow prince of nothingness
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.
