some remembered few,
barren and savage,
tear across space
looking for sanctuary.
she holds them in her
magnanimous grasp,
a wicked critter,
some dame sans mercy.
the symbiotic reaction
of two lossless eyes
staring oblique
at the same synonyms
mirrored by antonyms
and the anonymity
that makes love
seem more or less worth it.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
