I’m excited to announce that my new book, “Passages and Paths – A Journey of Life through Poetry” is now available in  paperback.  Kindle will follow in the next few days.

I decided to release this book on this date because it is an important one for me.  10 years ago I was stricken with Transverse Myelitis, a rare neuro-immune disorder, that changed my life forever.  I stopped writing, shut out the world, and once I got over my pity party, I knew it was time to fight back.  With the Grace of God, and my family by my side, I am one of the lucky ones.  I still suffer from numbness on my left side and partially on my right, but I am able to once again do what I love most.  Share my words…

Back Cover: In the ‘Journey of Life through Poetry’, Dorinda invites you to join her, as the wonder and awe of the Earth inspires her, bringing her visions to you through her poetry. Experience the setting sun, share in the challenges and victories of life, await the new day, and find yourself lost in the lush forest trees, as you join her on her journey, through Passages and Paths.

You can find “Passages and Paths” at the following links:

CreateSpace and Amazon.com

If you would like a signed copy, please use the Contact Dorinda form and include your name and address.  I will get back to you regarding info on shipping.

If you are so inclined, sharing or reblogging, would be greatly appreciated!  And I thank you so very much for doing so  🙂

Hard to believe this is my 8th book of poetry.  I couldn’t have done it without the inspirations around me and the beautiful people I have met here, and call friends.  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart  ❤

Harrowing screams, footsteps aflight

Shattering darkness, piercing the night

People running, ahead of the pack

Children crying, don’t look back

 

Fleeing from creatures, eyes aglow
Wolf like features, purely foe

 

Fast as you can, get away from this town

Devouring all, they will never back down

They never let go, no, they growl with delight

Eerily howling, under pale moonlight

Friday Fantasy ~ Taken

The colors of midnight, purple and blue

The crimson of roses, vibrant and true

Blackening skies against red petals, deep

Clouding my judgement, as I slip into sleep

Lost in a fantasy, dreams float away

In a fragrance that once held the meaning of day

Try as I might, I cannot awaken

Through blackness, in dreams, my soul is taken

On the Wings of a Breeze

#poetry, air, breeze, dorindaduclos.com, freedom, nature, Night Owl Poetry, Photography, poems, quiet, silence, Tranquility, trees


Find me a place where the silence runs free

Peacefully quiet, tranquility

Let me get lost in winds gentle flare

Become one with the ever moving air

Never stagnant, awhirl through the trees

Silence is whispering, on the wings of the breeze

I am drawn to you

As the sun is drawn to the west

Silent anticipation arising

In the brilliance of your glow

In the hours before I rest

With the waters, capsizing

I am caught in your undertow

Feelings no longer repressed

The seas ever rising

You capture me in your flow

And in the silent hours, obsessed

My heart surrenders, surprising

Conquering me at your behest
