#RomanticTuesday with a twist….

Let us celebrate, my love

There is no better time

Commingle, with one another

This taste of life, sublime

Pour another glass for me

Let us drink to get our fill

Every drop, delicious

Share the nectar, sweeter still

Give me what I need to live

Feel my body, new, refreshed

A single kiss upon your neck

Lets me feed upon your flesh

No Escape

Ghoulish creature in full moon light

Eerily stalking you, in ebony night

No longer hidden, the Hunter’s Moon glows

Lighting the way, with terror, he shows

A hideous face, with a sickle in hand

His quest for you, most carefully planned

Watching and waiting, he stares in the dark

Empty eyes gazing, he’s leaving his mark

Quivering soul, he’s gotten into your head

Wearing you down, no escape from the dead

 

This was a shot I took from my driveway, as the Hunter’s Moon was rising.  The leaves created quite the scene, and I of course, ran with it.  I have another shot, with a totally different scene, which I will share closer to Halloween  🙂

In the dark of night

A hunter hides in shadows

Only the moon sees

New Book Release ~ Passages and Paths – A Journey of Life through Poetry

Tags

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.

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  ❤
