What You Will FInd Here ...

Join me in my celebration of life and language through poetry. You will find no hint of literary snobbery here. Much like our beloved English ... THIS poet is very much alive, fun-loving, growing and changing!

Farewell in Any Language


Why is “Good-bye”
The wrench used to loosen hearts
So that they free fall
Shattering to splinters?

Rivers of tears
Won’t bring back love; restore faith
Torrents endless fall
As grief drowns life away

In any language
Farewell is a word of pain
Finality aches
Yet love’s eternal power
Endures beyond the grave
