Eros of Space
Strangers from the blogosphere
A simple common interest
Yet with your words,
You made me cry
How could you touch me
With letters & language
I don’t allow anyone in
But your words were magical
To inspire such feelings
Love and desire
Long forgotten needs
Awoken through verse
But can I trust
A love that was initiated
By the Eros of space
Without proof of reality
Or do I accept
the words
You express and let
Imagination decide?

For Opal is a collection of poems written in memory of Lilly Opal Stansberry, my grandmother, and the inspiration for my writing. These poems portray a moment in time. Highlighting love, loss, tragedy, and survival. There are a few done just for fun and several that have a murderous slant. But they are all a small picture of life. Some are real and others pure fiction.
Before she passed, I promised her I would publish a book of poetry. This is that promise kept. Publication date November 2nd - would have been her 108th birthday.
I'm under no illusion, A poet I am not, but each verse has meaning for me.
Maybe it will strike a chord for you too!

Or a simple shout out would be most appreciated.
