THE WHISPERING SILENCEIn the whispering silence I dream of you,
where night and day, they meet as one;
and if you choose to meet me there,
you only have to whisper...

This softening breeze, so sweet to smell,
and in this silence, I find comfort;
to find such peace within yourself,
you only have to whisper...

My heart belongs to you, and always will,
happiness has found me after all this time;
if you feel that you need me,
you only have to whisper...

Believe it or not, I can feel your pain,
and with every breath I feel there's doubt;
but here is truth within my love,
you only have to whisper...

Every day I love you more, I cannot help it,
each morn

A VISION OF YOUBe still the waters that flow this night,
and bring a calm to Zephyr's breath;
silence songs that Sirens sing,
and let not Hades seek for death.
I have drank the wine of Dionysus,
and braved Poseidon's Sea;
in seeking out my one true love,
that better part of me.
I have reached the steps of Venus's throne,
resplendent in auras of blue;
she pointed up into the night sky,
where I saw such a vision of you.
There within the Moon's glossy light
remains there a vision of you...

JANUARY BLOOMSWhat will, in January, bloom?
What, in the winter, thrives and grows?
The loons cry out their tuneful woes,
and winds, they sweep around like brooms.

The skies, sometimes, are filled with gloom,
while stalks lie withered in their rows.
What will, in January, bloom?
What, in the winter, thrives and grows?

I lay my head upon your womb,
my love for you, it starts to flow;
it’s this that blooms, as we both know,
and maketh me your winter groom.
What will, in January, bloom?
What, in the winter, thrives and grows?

DAVID ROGERS

THE WOMAN BY THE SEAAs the day grows old with clouds of pink
there’s a woman standing by the sea
with a fading sun that seems to wink.

She is looking down without a blink
to contemplate what may not be
as the day grows old with clouds of pink.

Her desires never seem to sink
as she’s whispering a silent plea
with a fading sun that seems to wink.

It is by the sea she likes to think
for it is here her soul roams free
as the day grows old with clouds of pink.

The sand beneath her feet like mink
her dreams are one big mystery
with a fading sun that seems to wink.

A cool ocean mist her skin will drink
this eloquent woman by the sea.
As the day grows o

ONE DAY IN DECEMBEROne day in December, everything changed,
and no one will ever be the same again.
It was a day that made a president cry,
leaving the whole of a nation in mourning.

One day in December, the shots rang out,
and with them the specter of death would follow;
within the walls of a New England school,
twenty small children lay dead on the floor.

One day in December, the parents came.
Some found their children and others did not.
So many Christmas trees laden with gifts,
for angels that cannot open them now.

One day in December, answers were sought,
and so far there’s only one man to blame;
by his own hand he is silenced forever,
but his cri

WINTER MOONJanuary moon, glowing bright,
it lights the way on misty nights;
a serenading by the loon
while holding sway the winter moon.

We hear the hooting of the owl,
and raccoons sneaking, on the prowl;
the trees, their bark sticks out like runes,
while holding sway the winter moon.

The fireflies, they dance about,
hyenas cackle as they shout;
a breath of night makes flowers swoon,
while holding sway the winter moon.

Always, the night must yield the way,
and sink upon the light of day;
the night will come again real soon,
while holding sway the winter moon...

JE T' AIMEJe t' aime mon amour, delicate flower
the sinews of time have not stolen thy grace
immortality strengthens the hour
that leaves not a single scar on thy face...

Obsidian beauty dressed in red lace
woe to those in your vehement power
trapped in your emerald eyes, I embrace
Je t' aime mon amour, delicate flower...

Your luscious lips dare the centuries sour
t'was ever a man who's heart would not race
making love in a rose petaled bower
the sinews of time have not stolen thy grace...

For some, you seem like a time out of place
some will love you and others will cower
guilty men vanish, not leaving a trace
immortality strengthens t

NONETS FOR 2013Anger is my aphrodisiac
It’s soaked into every pore
Striking out like a viper
Anger is my venom
A sure protector
True defender
Anger’s breath
Fills my
Lungs

Heart
Blackened
Full of hate
No longer beats
Rotted by anger
It deceives, not defends
It is no one’s protector
Anger’s venom leaves no winner
Vomit it out and begin to heal

I have long been waiting to collaborate with the highly talented Tammara

and it is an honor and a pleasure to finally get to do so. Her artwork really does inspire, and this particular work inspired the poem which I hope is worthy to accompany it. Enjoy...
