Literary Pursuits

In addition to founding and editing the literary magazine ONIONHEAD for Arts On The Park (115 N. Kentucky Ave, Lakeland, FL 33801) for over ten years, I also found some time to write. Here's a sample...

Domina Noctis

Perhaps I think too much of you in fact.
Attached to visions of perfection which
resist my simple words. A silent act
much deeper than your eyes... Your eyes-- enrich;

Inspire; my soul and heart, my mind and pen.
now nighttime crashes down again and wraps,
dark-cloaked, around the earth and stars. A wind
encroaches on my room and, chilling, saps

remaining strength and thoughts of all but you.
No warmth, just false hope freeze of lonely night
and shining stars as chill as morning dew
grow strong within my aching, yearning plight.

reminding me, that dreams are all I hold;
all glimpses of the sunlight in your soul.
