The Anatomy of a Falling Star is a journey through the fragile, aching spaces of the human heart and spirit. In this book, desire and doubt intertwine, faith trembles under the weight of longing, and the body remembers what the soul sometimes forgets. Each poem is a quiet reckoning, a dissection of life’s light and shadow, of temptation and devotion, of identity and the relentless ache of existence. Here, stars fall slowly, carrying stories of loss, spiritual questioning, and the seductive pull of what we cannot resist. Some sparks fade, others linger, stubbornly refusing to die.

The wonders of nature, beyond our goldfish bowl. The Cosmos unfolded into a glass onion, perturbed by NOTHING at all!

The sun has descended below the far horizon. The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land. Day has gone, and the nocturnal times reveal themselves. But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry, and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves. We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. Our gloried poets are on hand, though, to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.

River of Stars is a volume of poems in a series. Poems are inspired by many different occurrences. River of Stars is just such a volume. The poems are inspired by the natural world and the cosmic realm. In them I find meaning, intrigue, and understanding as I seek to convey in simple concise statements what has caused me to stop and pause, then write. Each writing is simply just that, a writing. When one can write without debating the substance and the subject the words drift onto the page. The pen struggles to keep pace.

Out in the cold fringes. The Oort cloud of the consciousness where light is scarce. Only the icy stare of countless unnamed stars to see you along your journey. A path with no beginning, nor port of call. A tortured sojourner lost in a hellish purgatory, searching in despair for an exit. The Tower & the Star is not only a strange tale, but a frigid trek through melancholic dejection. One spirit's rove into the dark night and its arduous transformation throughout. An unmoored voyage with but a whit of hope to lay hold of that tunnel's subsequent light.
