Praise the Holy One! For from out of man he has created a woman. Woman, to a man is a Thing of beauty, grace, charm, evident of her slow and melodical walk. He is in love with his own mourning, as if she will paralyze him all the way to his death. So where is…
Woman: Giver of Life, Giver of Fire
My journey has been incredibly lengthy throughout the duration of my life. Since a child I have witnessed many encounters of a divine kind. Mostly I have understood in wake of the ego, hence, setting me back further in my thoughts. Tonight, Tuesday morning 02/16/2021, I am writing another of these witnessed encounters. I have…
Reading Rita Dove’s Boccaccio: The Plague Years
Each day, each night, upon the southern island that reaches out to the Gulf of Mexico, the clapboard beach houses raise their tunes of flying fish, slapping hard upon the water’s edge. I was two, perhaps, younger. My memory slips into a time of a golden astonishment, white sand that stings as a round, translucent…

Silver Love Poured Tea
Silver Love Poured Tea by John Gregory Evans © 5/17/2020 3:12:52 AM Your smile, breathless, Ponderosa Pines harvested your voice, Kisses that shed an earthly attire, While Sleeper’s and Pullman’s steal the night, yet Silver love poured tea. The moon breathed deep tonight, Stars gathered Inebriated by the broken silence, Only the darkness smiled! Silver…
This Pale Moon
The pale moon can be invasive at times, lighting up my tiny room, to almost a dim freshness of sunshine echoing through. I think, of love who has passed me by, except the silver love and this lunar sky. We share so many nights, why not, and evenings, too, we are together, espoused we two.…

On the Cusp of Blackness’ Ride
Upon the cusp of blackness, we stare, I See a hope clinging to the everywhere, Religiosity is an interior pull Of white corpses Walking, without purpose but to be saved Through the mechanized wheel of Misfortune, where dead bodies aspire to heal. As if a preacher man from the Right Conceals the truth together, tonight…
Trepidation: Woman
Trepidation: Woman By John G. Evans © 2020 In as much the way she makes me feel, By power mystique that seems unreal. Truth-bearing as really in my thoughts surreal, My fate bears witness, my soul she kills. De Sales has written, a spiritual death, To me bears truth with a wanting caress. As Darwish…
Silver Love Under a Crescent Moon
O love! This contented night of a crescent moon lie sweetly b' neath a drunken sky, and your hips of round succumb to the dark, the burn of love persuades me to dance naked with imparted lips, the slaughter of my soul...and finger-tips. The tilt of your head as the burn rushes through, the salted…
A Beautiful Mystery
Soulfully engaged with this mystery, I seek Yet, the Proverbs hold the keys to a good life With a woman, I say, beauty, be it vain, that runs off the roof As of a late-night desert rain, charm as deceptive as a mirage of food On a plate lost high upon the rolling vast plains,…
