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.
