  • Sonnet #8 in Iambic Tetrameter – A White Hart

    What do we find ourselves inside? The Roman army’s moving north. A sacrifice the snake won’t die. The oblations smoke is rising fourth. Wish you could fall in love with me. The sacrament’s the gateless gate. I could turn you back from a stream Fulfilling or escaping fate. The Garden’s walls are Persian blue Aladdin’s…

  • Sonnet #7 in Iambic Tetrameter – “Blue Mountain”

    I think I’ve figured out a way To flower dreams and rain down stars, To step on through the cameras frame Back to a life that’s always ours. I think I’m bathing here in rain.

  • Sonnet #10 – “Awake in the Snow”

    I’ll follow you now through the Russian snow. For I’m afraid of nothing now you’re here. You’ve whisked away my driving need to know And blown a kiss that flies me past my fear. I want to see the moonlight fall on you. It feels like something’s rising from the woods. I live outside in…
