I’m tired, so very tired
of love, of so-called life
of all the countless heartaches
and years of endless strife
can’t undo what been done
too late to re-roll the dice
time to pay the penurious piper
but can’t afford the price
the velvet black void beckons
sweetly calls my secret name
offering silence I can rest in
tranquil and godless, free of pain
an endless, empty nothing
to pillow my weary mind
hopes and dreams fizzle out
as I blissfully, beautifully unwind

Thank you for the compliment. ☺️
I don’t have any books. A few years back, I self-published on Amazon, but it was a disappointing experience. I publish short stories and poetry to magazines on occasion, but the majority of my work, I put up on WordPress or my Facebook page.
