shameless book promotion time! continuing with ‘a distilled spirit’ from 2018.

as i previously said, while putting this collection together i had been known for my horror fiction. my poem ‘you’ became a fusion, a dash of my horror background mixed with my emerging though still yet defined poetic voice. i wrote this over a few strong beers.

‘a distilled spirit’ is available on amazon for your reading pleasure. link is in my profile. if you enjoy it, please indulge me the favor of a review.

peace!

 ‘you’

in a trick of light i found you

pouring venom from callous hands

ripping faith from gibbous moon

i’ve loved you ever since.

your cruel grace matched by

even the coldest of gray januaries and 

as the sun died

you spoke to me the foulest nothings

whispered from your alligator snout.

you poured acid in my ears to 

quell my methods of thinking when 

you knew full well

i had no free will at all.

chant a new song of turpitude

blasphemous act;

i’ll love you ever more.
