Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.
Poetry Train

Dreams and Reality…
Music drifts over the dark night
Chasing my dreams.
Curled in my bed,
I know nothing is as it seems.
Dragons float above me
Breathing fire.
Pixies dance around me,
Urging me to fly higher.
Fireflies dart here and there,
Teasing me.
Bright lights on dark velvet,
Happy just to be.
Your arms wrap tight,
Holding me close.
I lean my head against your chest,
Trusting you the most.
A shrill sound breaks into
The moment.
Morning calls me
Becoming my most vicious opponent.
Opening my eyes,
I stare at the space beside me.
Itโs empty.
My dreams dissolve into reality.

Poetry Train

Come with me
Let me wrap you in my arms.
Iโll protect you from the dark.
Sit with me.
Let me warm you.
Iโll give you a safe place to hide.
Talk with me.
Let me listen to you.
Iโll share your secrets and tell you mine.
Laugh with me.
Let me make you smile.
Iโll show you joy.
Spend time with me.

Friday Pimping…

The picture has nothing to do with the book I’m pimping today, but I love it. There’s just something about the sepia tone and overall mood of it that struck me. ๐
The book I’m pimping today isn’t a m/m book at all. It’s a mystery called THE DAUGHTER OF TIME by Josephine Tey. I read it this week and throughly enjoyed it.
Here’s the blurb:
Josephine Tey is often referred to as the mystery writer for people who don’t like mysteries. Her skills at character development and mood setting, and her tendency to focus on themes not usually touched upon by mystery writers, have earned her a vast and appreciative audience. In Daughter of Time, Tey focuses on the legend of Richard III, the evil hunchback of British history accused of murdering his young nephews. While at a London hospital recuperating from a fall, Inspector Alan Grant becomes fascinated by a portrait of King Richard. A student of human faces, Grant cannot believe that the man in the picture would kill his own nephews. With an American researcher’s help, Grant delves into his country’s history to discover just what kind of man Richard Plantagenet was and who really killed the little princes.
It was fascinating for me to read. I’ve heard both sides of the argument about Richard III and it’s an intriguing debate. After reading the story, I can why it spawned an entire society dedicated to clearing Richard’s name.
I’m in a historical mystery mood (though that one wasn’t technically a historical mystery. It was written in the 1950s, so it has that feel to it.) I finished another this week that takes place in the early months of the Prince Regent’s reign. ๐
Do you have any recommendations? (It can be for any type of book…any genre. I’m not picky)
Also, I have a general question. I’m tossing around the idea of getting my poems together into a book. Now I would probably end having to self-publish it. Simply because I don’t know many publishers who do poetry books. Who would be interested in a book like that from me? (I promise not to hold you to it if you say you would be interested. ๐ )
Hope everyone has a good Friday.
Nothing Important

Poetry Train

Silent and unsure.
Need
Lust
Well in me.
Does he know
What he makes me feel?
Want
Heat
Burn in me.
I donโt have
The courage to approach.
Fear
Loss
Rises in me.
He walks away
With a backward glance and smile.
Hope
Love
Maybe he does know.
Also, The Vanguard comes out tonight between 6 and 7. I’ll make sure there’s a working link as soon as it becomes available. ๐
Have a great day. (I know I will)
contest…
sorry about not posting anything yesterday. Was really busy in the morning and then the rest of the day just flew past without me getting a chance to put anything up.I just wanted everyone to know that Fiona Glass, one of the authors in Shifting Perspectives from Aspen Mountain is running a contest until the end of Feb. She’s giving away a free copy of SP, if you don’t already have one.
Stop by her site and find all the pigeons. After that, email her with the location of the pigeons and she’ll put your name in a drawing.
I hope you all have a great day.
