    About this ebook

    Poems of love and love’s incarnations: excitement, pathos, sex, loss, hope, denial, broken hearts, affection, desire, lust, betrayal, devotion... It’s all here in this emotionally naked collection of poetry. Poetry filled with passion and gentleness. Cici writes with a voice that takes the reader to a deeper place. A place where the earthiness of the human condition is laid bare A place of exploration. Exploration of the passionate boundaries of heart and soul. There are no boundaries. The poems are not a road map nor a final destination. They are sign posts along the way. The journey is totally yours.

    A collection of poetry heavy on contemporary styling as well as the occasional haiku. The strength of the visual is not lost to the word. This is poetry worth pondering.

    I didn’t start out to be a writer. It just came to me. I read a lot. I grew up in Dallas, Texas. My MS is in computer science and I currently work for a Midwestern IT corporation. To maintain my sanity I enjoy playing my cello, running and cycling. I share a house with my cat Stinky.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      One

      The heat lighting had just splintered the the back of the next ridge over.

      I caught myself thinking of you.

      A fleeting moment

      Still

      Caught in the smiles of the eye.

      I hoped you were safe from the fires of life.

      On your journey

      Wrapped on the arms of love

      Comfortable

      Like a favorite sweater…

      Humming a summer song

      And remembering a mischief

      To be acknowledged later.

      I hoped you were happy.

      I was thinking of you and I smiled.
