A SONG BENEATH SILENCE
is now available in Black & White for $16.99.
"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."
~Fangoria
"Anyone who knows about renowned Poet Apryl Skies, knows that she
can work words into stone; she can take a thought and purify it into the
inevitable dust."
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…
