The Ambassador of Ferrara Writes to His Prince About a Cool Party in 1572
Such throaty timbres – oboes and bassoons –
such gowns! My Lady, apricot and plum,
her sleeves ablaze with blue October moons –
for one short night, her villa had become

The Girl Who Writes Love Poems v2
The girl who writes love poems
Finally became the muse
She was so wrapped up in her delusion
She didn't see she was being used.
She poured out her heart into stanzas and rhymes
And basked in the warmth of his gaze
Little did she know the time that she’d waste
Would haunt her the rest of her days.
Though she spent

My Muse Writes
Relaxed while my muse writes, I watch her think
and link words that ignites
with creative verse insights.
Her thoughts then with me unites.

Time Writes in Rhythms of Light
there were times when I did not understand him
times when I fought with my heart, to remember
time would not forget the days that were so grim
it wouldn’t be that long, just before December
he would tell us that love had come to his life
years after this, I’d see that stirring ember
sparks of hope divine to heal

he writes like he speaks
His writing was pompous and verbose
Why wouldn’t it be?
He writes like he speaks
He appears to be a loquacious windbag which he is

She Writes Them Now
She's never loved broken love poems,
but now she writes them.
She's always feared swollen heads and broken tones,
yet now she finds she fights them.
Despite her mother's devotion,
she's forgotten the taste of oxytocin -
broken bonds within the unspoken, spoken.
Now emotion runs frozen
underneath hollow motions.
These days she spends her time playing theologian.
Here's my question:
No one cares to know

A Ghost Writes
in the stillness of the night
where shadows weave their tales
an envelope drifts weightless through silence
ancient parchment frayed
by the breath of time
it bears no return address
only the faint aroma
of forgotten dreams and echoes
a whisper carried
on the back of the wind
i unfold the letter
my fingers trembling
as ink flows like liquid night
each word a spectral sigh
a whisper traced

One Poet Writes
One Poet Writes
Within a quiescent memory enchanted in light
could a loving epiphany lie at your side
With sympathy and intrusion a love he portrays
that in a tranquil moment one love might stay
Immersed in silence one poet writes
he forges on with loving delight
he sips from the river and scoops from

Because The Monster Writes Poetry
The Monster is massive
with fangs and with claws
all lacquered and sharpened
sticking out from its jaws
The Monster is ghoulish
with deep, sunken eyes
it speaks whispers of wicked
and paranoid lies
The Monster is cruel
it sneers and it spits
always waiting for something
to tear into bits
The Monster is hidden
from inside its dark lair
just plotting and pacing
in the

The Boy Who Writes Alone
needs no introduction
nor permission
to be anything.
He does not request
to spread his arms wide
and reach the heavens.
His words are unmoored.
They flow and change,
remaking things
before the world sees them.
His hand—
a gesture suspended
by Gleti, between slumber

Glenn Writes for Us
I sent Glenn Hughes a letter
requesting him to write a song
for me and my beloved
Will he shadow his grace
amongst us
and drive the tunes to space
I can only imagine
the words we would deliver
and the beautiful tones of his voice
as he sings of our true love
What better place is there to be
than in the

In his cage of thoughts, the captive man writes with wings of ink
In his cage of thoughts, the captive man writes with wings of ink,
surrounded by crumpled parchments like autumn leaves, he dreams,
of things seen through his tarnished window, a portal to the world beyond,
where the vast ocean whispers its stories with waves of longing.
His canvases are giant ships carrying on their decks free souls,
with the will

Monster Writes in Nigh
The rot of humanity's shadow is not in the ink,
but in the darkness that fuels the pen,
gruesome daggers, dripping honeyed poison.
