Ghost of You #poem #Bali

This poem was kicking around in my drafts, written to accompany a song called “Ghost of You” by Curtis Harding. I published that back in March already!

Hold Back the River

Water is an essential element in my Stranger series. It gives life and it can take it as well. I’ve had my share of strange encounters with water—several near death experiences along with some humorous ones. A future post will provide details on my odd relationship with water. Tried to keep you close to me But...Continue reading Hold Back the River →

Let It Go

Loving someone is a wondrous trajectory from beginning to end. Even when two people go their separate ways amicably, endings are always sad, for me anyway. From walking home and talking loads Seeing shirts in evening clothes with you From nervous touch and getting drunk To staying up and waking up with you As a...Continue reading Let It Go →

Higher and Higher

Canada legalized marijuana last month while I was out of the country. It brought back memories of the one and only time I smoked pot—Jamaica, many years ago.  I was in my mid twenties. The joint, rolled by a Rastafarian friend, rivalled a cigar. Because I had never even smoked cigarettes, I didn’t know how...Continue reading Higher and Higher →

Take the Long Way Home

If you consider that home is where the heart is, then I’ve definitely taken the long way home. It took me nearly 46 hours to return to Toronto from this last trip. I’ll expound in a later post once I get some sleep and unburden myself of jet lag. Regardless, I would do it all over again even...Continue reading Take the Long Way Home →
