chaos, am i ... all that is not understood poison, am i ... once on your lips, the taste of ruin callow, am i ... a child's heart that beats erotic obsessed, am i ... as the black coal scarecrow's eye clement, am i ... friendship and love, embers of my soul byzantine, am i ... tangle of wispy intentions, dreamed singularity, am i ... Universe and atom - lepton and void horror, am i ... warm darkness that whorls, obsidian fire ocean, am i ... cold abyss - ebbing, flowing - pulled by the moon heaven, am i ... of the dearest light ... the bloodiest weep life, am i ... the lost ache for love ... the purpose, pure death, am i ... but a tender ripple in the surface of eternity timeless, am i ... naught but now, naught but never ... naught but ... i.

Greg, your bio, though written eloquently, shrouds the sensitive, compassionate, loving soul I know you to be by reading so many of your poems. Congratulations on your First Place win! Blessings xxoo

Greg this is a blend of poetry enough to know you a little while not revealing much. You seem like an ocean of emotions. Congratulations on your win :)
