Seraphim On Cusp Of Spring - Bog

"Seraphim On Cusp Of Spring" is a collection of poems from the last four years which examine true and unrequited love, man's place in the Universe and the demise of a beloved mother in a variety of forms the author has developed over the period of these writings. The main focus of his love is Queen Muse who, as her name implies, is the person who inspired the majority of these works. The forms used in this book include a collection of new ideas I hope will help revive the poetry scene of the world, which seems at times almost moribund due to a lack of new ideas by which the eternal truths of poetry might be realized. The love expressed both for Queen Muse and my mother fuse in to an insight into the nature of Absolute Love which can never be taken away or broken, even by geographical distance or the all-encompassing reality of mortality. These poems try to understand the essence of both life and reality while maintaining a humor and an optimism that is increasingly difficult to cultivate as the ideals of passion and devotion to another seem more and more to be slipping away from the world. "Seraphim" portrays the angels that keep the bliss of Earth alive and, in many cases, thriving.
