I am inviting everyone to drop by Cornerstone Cafe, and check out my new interview.

Is he so charming?
Is she so engaging?
Are they so comforting, initially, that is
So understanding of all your dreams
Supportive or so it seems?
Are they the close friend,
the confidant,
the one to lean on
or so they say?.
Is he the suave suitor
who on first glance
fulfills all expectations,
so perfect, too good to be true?
And as time goes on,
slowly your own wants slip away,
but it must be your choice
to let go of them
as you find yourself conforming
and bending to their life.
Are they the ones that seem to shine brighter
when you’re around,
yet somehow your brilliance,
your own inner light seems to dull?
Do you become their protector,
filling a role you never intended,
a subtle shift, a gradual slide,
while you were looking elsewhere,
and everything you once were
slips away like sand.
once so strong,
the essence of who you are,
dissipates into nothingness,
as though it never was.

I am happy to announce that Cornerstone Book Publishers, my publisher, is extending their Thanksgiving Week Book Sale to include anyone visiting this website. All print books (including mine in the Contemporary Literature section) are 40% off this week. I hope many drop by and take advantage of this great savings. And have a great holiday as well.

Here is the announcement from Cornerstone:

“Well, the last Cornerstone Sale was very successful, but generated some upset. I received a number of mails saying that it was too short for them to take advantage. So … here is another one for any who missed the first. It will be a week long 40% off Thanksgiving Week Sale starting today and ending Sunday 11/29 on all our print books at http://cornerstonepublishers.com. Just enter the code “40sale” (without quotes) in the Customer code box in the shopping cart and your discount will show up.

Cornerstone is a leader in publishing Masonic and esoteric books as well as publishing some of the very best in pulp fiction titles. Now is the time to stock up on those titles you have been thinking about. Don’t miss out!

If you live outside the US, send a e-mail to info@cornerstonepublishers.com and we can make the sale prices available to you.”

The man that I love
is a prince when life is calm,
when times are good.
He is attentive and
all that can be dreamed of.
The man that I love
is a partner when life is stormy.
He tries to bury his own pain
even when it is nearly too much.
He continues to care
even when the stress
seems too great to care.
The man that I love
still cracks a smile
when there is little to smile about.
He rallies my spirits
even when there is little left to rally.
His core remains the
same, strong, steadfast soul
whether we’re riding the waves of success
or struggling through the strife of despair.
I recognize him in all times
constant and loving.
That is who he is.

Waiting
Waiting desperately
for change to come.
eyes fixed on a different time,
so cognizant of the anxiety of the present.
Waiting
Waiting for a painful stretch to end,
blinded by the anguish and uncertainty
of the moment.
Breathing deeply
and stopping thought
that breeds discord.
Stopping thought
and moving in the present,
quietly in each moment,
learning to live peacefully
in uncertainty.
