Poetry and Prose

Not all artists use color and shape to paint pictures. There is a certain joy in polishing a phrase to just the right shape and form, such that when strung together, the words fall off the tongue. I've done a bit of that, on all sorts of topics, and you'll find some of it here.

Some are marked with a dagger as adult material; they contain disturbing or sexual imagery. I trust your discretion to pass over them if you shouldn't read them.

I Remember California (prose) -- Reflections on the only place which I will ever truly call home.

Cele-chan (poetry) -- I caught a friend asleep...

Dance (poetry) -- Another good friend of mine does martial arts.

Path of Twilight (poetry) -- The true "path less traveled by"...

Only the Stars (poetry) -- A study in complex forms.
