Description
As I wade into the wind,
the eventide eddying at the edge of my senses,
I fancy the glory of the secret heart of love,
the goddess Rosa Mundi,
red-hot, dripping from my hand
and pooling at my feet,
the petals of her fragile flesh
shimmering in the arcane radiance
of a clockwork moone. Up there,
beaming down from the ark
of a cold and deserted outpost on high,
Mezza Luna's sentinel mentality washes over me,
quelling the simmering ache in my heart,
her ticktocking watchfulness sheltering me
and steeling me against the night.
I bend an ear,
thinking I can hear
Erudition's grinding gears
going round and round. She's like a machine,
reaping and then threshing the brain-grain
from eons of waxing and waning vigilance,
forever cloaked in a bleak and barren silence.
I've learned never to cross her though,
for she is jealous mistress and harsh,
with her suffocating presence
eclipsing the light of my day,
purloining my love like some blimpish blighter.
And therein lies the irony,
for it is Mezza Luna who now shelters
my one true love,
my rocket gal.

Amazing! Artistically flamboyant and just plain fun! A camel head with a fez got a giggle from me ;) ! FB V/Pamela

Wow! If Terry Gilliam and Harris Burdick (with shades of Ralph Steadman) had a love-child... I mean this in the most complementary way. The series is so imaginative.

I really appreciate that each piece you do stands alone, but also seems to carry it's own self-contained universe along with it. The depth of imagination is much appreciated. Have you published any books yet?
Patrick Anthony Pierson replied:
Thank you, Gregory. My stories haven't been published, but I do have plans to self-publish several of them, with illustrations.
