This poem I wrote at learning of the death of Vlad Quigley. It is followed by a short Bio I found on Tumblr.

O, VLAD QUIGLEY!

You have passed into the realm of Gothic Harmony,

the well of eternal Repose.…

"While my lover's drowsy speech beckons me 

To the silent bedchamber"

This is from my poem in DEEPLY SLEEPLESS: 75 Collected Poems About Life, Death, & Everything.  Purchase your copy on Amazon or Balboa Press.

A love poem- to my…

"What joy have we in these moments brief,

bring breath to my aspiration."

Not sure if this is just self indulgent or appropriately promotional but my book is out in the world and there is so much that I have…

You have sustained us - 

with fun and Tiki Parties for Two - 

with outdoor movies and Monk Fruit - 

with sweet, sassy, sexy love. 

I worship you. 

Or I wouldn't be able to talk with you 

hour after hour,…

To be, this day, 

with you in my... chamber, 

with you as my witness, 

with you as my promise, 

is a bless-ed bliss indeed. 

This is what fated lives we live and breathe...

-The rest of this fragment will be…

The GREEN FAIRY on my lips, 

Nosferatu in my eye. 

Dreaming in your embrace. 

You drink deeply and so do I.

Patrick Golden 

True last year, 

true today. 

These cats love you 

in every way.

It's that special time of year when we celebrate our compounded Anniversary. Twenty-four years together, eleven years married. 

These are photos from our wedding day.

It is my tradition to write a poem to the man I love. Here is…

Here is the another Lyric Video! This is a pretty short one. Thank you to Patrick R. Golden for writing new music for me on the fly, and for putting this whole thing together!
