One of My Chapbooks

This is the cover to my 4th Chapbook entitled "When Summoned I Will Say Farewell". It contains one long poem, (10 sections).

Here is an excerpt:

(6)

When summoned I will say farewell,
yet never will I leave you.
I shall carry you with me always,
a small and stirring pain
within my heart; A sweet paradox
inevitably weighing me down at times
with either joy or sorrow.
These words I leave here
not by grace or genius grew,
nor by my merit did I bring them forth,
but exists by that deep sealed
love of ours.
The light that crowns them
belongs to you.
