  • For Edgard (Poem)

    So much love continues your presence here.

    Our laughter and tears are testament to your being.

    No shadowy ghost that haunts,

    You remain a warm solid comfort for us all.

    Our stories and memories share your light,

    As we move through our days and nights.

    We remember your smile, your kindness, your generous spirit.

    We hold these in our hearts with gratitude

    And give thanks for your existence.

    You live on, beloved friend, and we cherish all that you are.

  • End Of The Day (Poem)

    There is no magic here.

    No-one will come to save you

    With a wave of their wand

    Or with fiery breath and beating wings.

    Not in this poem.

    You’ll have to save yourself,

    And however you do that is up to you.

    I write these days of desiccation and dearth,

    With arid phrase and acrid wit.

    Seek no comfort;

    I have none to offer.

    Other than: I am here.

    The road not taken…..
