The Beauty of Humility
Clapsed in prayer
Unfolding in silence
Bowing down to the Creator

Welcome to samples of my work in various art forms showcasing “Eye-locks and Other Fearsome Things.” “Eye-locks” is a Bipolar/Asperger’s memoir in narrative form that describes the triumph of love over mental illness.
The Cycle of Life
Youth unfolding
in the bright sunlight
blossoming in shade
‘tainted’ by age
becoming fragile
the delicacy of death
From an old Dahlia series, attempting to show the robust beauty of new life as it grows older, finally reaching the unsung beauty of death.
A Microcosm of the Macrocosm
To see a cathedral in a flower,
to be drunk with its nectar,
under an opalescent sky.

Pure Allure
Look into my eyes
that tell no lies,
do they not hypnotize?
And my swirling
coat of curls,
is that not your unfurling?
Simple and pure,
though quite demure
I am full of allure.
And although
pink of ear,
pink of nose and
pink of horn,
I’m yellow-tagged
and thus
uncharacteristically,
undeniably,
positively
forlorn.
Cruel Beauty
The nature of paranoia
feels persecuted by nature
sees flowers gossiping
their pistols pissing/hissing
stamens wagging
with stories about
the outsider
who turns away in tears
malicious, vicious words
pollinating the silence
while venomous stamens
draw ovules of blood
as the razor sharp leaves
slit slender petals
