Epistola

About the Book

Epistola. A book containing three poetic narratives as a collection of letters encompassing the pleasures and struggles of love gained, love experienced, love lost, and the hope to love once more

And you invite me into your garden
Where the roses are in full bloom

Where the petals are moist from the rain
And showers of passion come
With each encounter, with each touch

intermingled with psychological and spiritual essays regarding separation, war, death, and disillusionment.

My inamorata withdrew to her desuetude
Upon the cloaked harbinger's visitation
Now free from her feverish ravaged body
She is sheltered beneath seraphim wings
Soothed by the sweet angelic resonance

My beloved sleeps amidst the roses

The poet provides additional congeries of verses commenting on topics from cities visited, native America, history ... to introspectives, personal experiences, and tributes to heroes, minstrels, and bards of times past ...

Oh poets of old
Recite your verses and stanzas, chant your songs,
And write your poetry

Oh poets of old
Cause children to dream, the elderly to reminisce,
And the young to have new fervor and zeal
