Shadows on the Carpet III Available on Amazon

I have been very busy this past month and a half and did not have time to post the fact that Shadows on the Carpet III was available for purchase on Amazon.  So here is the link - better late than never.

Shadows on the Carpet III on Amazon

...from desolation to restoration...

A Wasted Life

Today I will be sharing a poem I wrote about a surreal day I had once.  I recorded it and Turkish Acidplanet artist, mumu mixed it into her music. This poem is included in "Shadows on the Carpet III" - 'Condemned' section.

A Wasted Life

Dusty letters caressed as ribbons cascade

A few photos with frayed edges

These he cherishes more

Than his wife or mistresses

Books from the shelves strewn about in a rage

Locket of hair nowhere to be found

Groveling on the floor

The imposter is dethroned

The adult male petulant, whiny - eyes crazed

In front of his mistress he kisses

The woman he’s longed for

Over whom he obsesses

He exits in an alcohol induced haze

No respite from this reign of pain

Tears cause him to roar

The years are lost in the rain
