The Relief
I published some poetry a while ago and had cause to revisit it recently. You might enjoy some of it.
This one is a homage to the Listeners by Walter de la Mare
The Relief of Waterloo
(After The Listeners, Walter de la Mare and in praise of the public toilet)
Is there anybody there, said the traveller
To open up this loo?
It’s surely wrong that one must pay,
For our numbers one and two.
It’s…

The Beginning
Life starts when you wake up
heart head and soul all open
shut down and life feels lost
find the one to guide you home

Buscábamos lo mismo en otras personas teniéndonos a la par. Nos ponemos vendas en los ojos siendo conscientes de la verdad, que podríamos ser algo pero no lo queremos y huimos una y otra vez sin saber que la vida podría estarnos dando una oportunidad de encontrar un algo en medio de nosotros dos. Pero lo buscamos en alguien más y lo hacemos callar. El orgullo se hace de rogar y no quiere desaparecer de nuestras almas.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.” -Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven🖤 . . . . . #EdgarAllanPoe #poepoetry #theraven #gothicliterature #SaturdayShelfie #bookshelf #shelfie #livresque #bookshelfie #spookishbookish (at Edgar Allan Poe Cottage)

I'm sooo excited to announce the project I've been working on with the AMAZING owner of🕯 @burningbrightcandleco !! We've been working hard to bring you 6 custom candles AND PRINTS for a gothic poetry line up!! 🖤yayyy! There will be 6 handmade candles in the series, each one will be released every month from May to October—She creates each candle's scent specially to go with the piece of dark poetry we have chosen! I'm making each print especially for this series (the only one you'll have seen before is Lenore), and once they're all released, they'll also be made into a set of 6 blank greeting cards! You'll be able to get the gorgeous candles 🕯 with my art on the labels from @burningbrightcandleco on Etsy, and the prints/cards from yours truly on Etsy! So if you're ambitious... by Halloween 🎃 you can have a complete set of custom dark poetry candles, prints, and cards, and your dark soul will be complete!! muahaha 😈😈😈 First up: “Lenore” by Edgar Allen Poe!! 🖤The candle will release May 5th in a black jar/black lid in two sizes, 10 oz and a 14oz, and you know where to find the print ;) Wait and see what we have coming up for this series...

Slow
Not to say speed
and not to imply pain
but sometimes
slow is good
breathe, think
slow is good
you don’t need
to make the speed
the thought or care
slow is good
mindful, aware

-¿Quién eres?
-Soy todo lo que no concuerda en este mundo.
- Entonces creo que me encanta quién eres.

Think
Alone in the room
all done what was to do
thoughts are running rampant
hard not to imagine it
she might say hi
you might pass by
the girl you simply wish
you knew better than now

Art of Others
I love the words of others
As they bring life to the page
The pure essence of wonder
The sweet ecstasy of “what may”
The simple phrases
Simple lines
Words connecting in every way
Painting a picture much more powerful
At any given day.

Days Roll On
Sun up to sun down
wake up smile
sleep with a frown
the light to dark
and sun to dusk
matters not, to nature, but us
we take each day
from start to end
hoping for hope
hanging on a thread
we pick the pieces
to complete the set
family and friends
you get what you get
