Thank you to everyone reading from more than fifty countries. This blog has always been about the inner world — the storms, the deserts, the caves, the oceans we carry inside us.

Internal Geography:

I am so excited to announce the publication of my newest poetry collection!

All Hope Lost

I was thinking about all the recent reports of trains wrecking in small town America causing massive damage and evacuations.

Addiction

Dark desolated passage way through, Portal wide apart calling us forward, Running backwards, Horrified faces scream, Silence echoes in return, Caverned hell gapes ahead, Arms stretch outwards grasping for solid soul, Closer we creep, harder we fight, Life in helpless moment, Under the skin we feel those crawling insects of fear, Goosebumps surge as adrenaline…

Angel Escapes the Fall

Guttural yells reverberate unguarded soul, Hollow halls reverbed by animalistic bellows, Rattling the reverberations against steel bars, Raining terror through sheer torture, Pinned against the steel, Fists rain down from heavenly blows, Down deep into the depths of nine hells, Whipping back and forth the brawl begins, Angelic wings flap with ferver, Fighting against demonic…

Eternal Slumber
