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!

For The Love Of A Good Man


"Dance at Bougival" 1883
Pierre-August Renior


For the love of a good man
My impatient wait
A weight
Of longing
Years too long

For the heart of a kind man
I did despair
Solely uncovering
Shattered spiteful souls
‘Neath layers of feigned tenderness

For the love of a generous God
Has wrought goodness
From evil circumstance
Leading me to find you
We, oh so perfectly, imperfect
Yet perfectly suited for one another

In the embrace of your heart
I do revel
Rejoicing
Grateful and blessed
For the love of a good man
