Current Reviews

"A Song Beneath Silence By Apryl Skies...doesn't disappoint...a strong and authentic voice. October Ghosts, Wise and Time (For Uncle Jimmy Riccio and his beloved Gilda), and Of Blood and Bone create an atmosphere that holds the reader. My favorite poem of the book, The Invitation evokes Poe’s Lenore in name and mood."

PoeM Of The Day

Red Balloons

 

We are grounded

like jasper

as our earthly eyes

rise skyward

toward your descent…

but we wish to chase,

to float as clouds,

so our fingers gift the sky

and angels grasp the threads

of our red balloons

 

We are in mourning

like the doves,

but we are silent

without song,

without reason.

As uncertainty

blinds our hopes

and breathes our soul

without exhale.

 

We are reborn

as a child cries,

a soul finds place

and as our final words

birth love…

 

We are ascension and flight

a light in darkness and end

and we are magnetic,

drawn toward a certain spell,

beyond time and spaces unknown,

then we chase, floating as clouds

and we all become angels

grasping at threads

of our red balloons
