Excerpt
-Oh! Languid goddess who sees the world from on high tempestuous Olympus, so presumptuous of your beauty.
You, who emerged from the bewitched waters of eternal sea.
Your skin has been threaded with gold and silver fibres.
Your golden hair was wrought with innate refinement.
You seduce every man with your slender silhouette,
but your conscience scrutinizes your not so beautiful behavior.
Why,each time your enchantment increases,
does the white foam from where you once emerged , turn to be so dark?
Through negligence, perhaps all goodness you destroyed.
Your ironic vanity, like a symphonic agony,
rushes at your skin,
ruining its magnificent purity.
In any case, Oh! my Muse, I beg you to revive your melodious harmony for us.

Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help. Beautiful
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.).
