Again I am plagued by shortcomings and wonder what you did

so how was it I lived such a comfortable life with you

Have I slipped from the super-human fantasy God forbid

is fallible just sickening when the search inside is through

AIthough it is terribly lonely when your spouse passes, and that is odd as we live on a planet with billions of others who go through the same losses as we do, I am hoping that sharing my experience can ease that loneliness for some...

This was intended as a YouTube video blog, but I find I cannot yet read these poems for a camera, so I have decided to post them here as frequently as the schedule allows (hoping for daily), moving them to the Poetry Palace T V page as each new one arrives. I had thought that February 4th was the first poem, until i found one from another "journal" that was written the day after Little Linda Mae passed. That poem is on that page already. I have limited the Palace T V posts to one week and moved the rest to Volume XVIII: Internal Revolutions.

Little Linda Mae



Kisses in glances

and whispers in touch

Smiles just like dances

and words that can clutch



She now inspires

flaming verse in me

Words sing like choirs

and long to be free



Love is a fountain

i bathe in its flow

Desire is a mountain

its peak all aglow
