If I could fade from
everyone and everything I know,
I could be truly free
to follow the clouds
the rest of my days.
Sept. 9, 1995
(NOTE: Many readers, editors, friends, etc. have asked me about my Lucius poems. I came across the name when younger, it means 'of the light', and I liked that concept. The Lucius poems are usually short pieces and they have great personal meaning to me in many aspects. They are among my favorite poems I've written and have been well recieved and published in various chapbooks and small press literary magazines. There are 15 Lucius poems, a series of maxims entitled the Proverbs Of Lucius(which also has 15 parts) and various other poems with the subtitle (A Lucius Poem)).
