The Lighter Side Of Poetry
After writing Lithium Dreams and Melancholy Sunrise, my first book of dark poetry, I wanted to focus on the lighter side of my writing. I had ten notebooks full of poetry over the years that was collecting dust on the shelf so I had a lot to work with. I went through and chose the lighter ones and decided to compile them into a book. Ironically, many of the poems are about things (snowflakes, chocolate, grass, etc) so I decided to call the book The Safety Of Objects.
Book Excerpt
The Safety of Objects
Falling
Falling, falling, descending from the sky
Against a background of grey, we drift slowly by
We are all different, yet we are the same
Our designs are different, yet we have the same name
Some of us stay and some of us die
Someone just landed on a street near by
I just landed in someone’s eye
And become a tear that they cry
