Hello to you all

I thought I would start by lightening the mood by letting you see one of the poems from my next book, "Beyond Darkness".

Velvet Rose

The gift of love you gave to me
In the form of a single red rose
The velvet rose of deep blood red
The resemblance of my heart I now give to you

I hope my rose like our love never dies
So I can hold our hearts forever close
I’ll dry the rose and keep it forever safe
A symbol or our love now and that yet to come.
