My dear readers,
To those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving I wish you a beautiful week ahead and Happy Thanksgiving! To those who do not celebrate a century of love from me and my publishing house Literary Revelations.
First, I want to share with you a poem included in my book Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings. I hope you enjoy it.
SEDUCTION
the rhythm of castanets awakens the moon
on opal rings your kisses spin
a cricketโs hitting a crescendo
waves tattoo dark shadows on your skin
sonority, you who vibrates the souls
of those who haunt at night the Port of Cartagena
I toss in smells of apricots and plumes
the Hand of Fatima takes off my veils
your forehead sinks into the sweat of lovers
who sever their veins
oh, dream of the unknowns,
you, latency,
the sigh of blood which flows
in spring both mud and flowers grow didnโt you know
that when you said I love you
you stepped on roads of fables and folk tales?
you glued your heart onto a purple sunset
smells of lilac and of roses, impregnated strolls,
seduction,
it wasnโt me
it was you who stole his soul
CELEBRATING POETRY BY CINDY GEORGAKAS
Second, I would like to remind you that Literary Revelations just published Celebrating Poetry by Cindy Georgakas. It’s a wonderful book and I would like you – if you can – to continue to buy it.
Yesterday Cindy was still #1 in Inspirational and Religious poetry. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart to Cindy. However, there were many problems with Amazon apps that showed the eBook unavailable in the US market. At this point things were fixed but just in case if you cannot buy the eBook via the app, please open your browser, paste the link below, and sign in your Amazon Account. That way you certainly can buy.
Yesterday:

Last night we lost the banner to a haiku book that Amazon stacked in front of us. The haiku book does not have any category remotely close to Religious & Inspirational Poetry. I have spoken to Amazon and I trust that the problem will be corrected.
Have a beautiful weekend everyone!

Beautiful

Your poetry is a feast in and of itself dear Gabriela which always inspires.
Thank you for your kind words and passing the word on about the glitches at Amazon we have been encountering! They must be friends with Word Press… something we can all relate too. ๐! It’s a joy to wok together and right the issues as they arise. I’m so grateful to our friends and to you!๐

Hi Gabriela, I really enjoyed your poem. I often review both past and present poetry on my own page, and I hope you are okay with it, but I included your poem in one of my recent posts. I’ve shared the link below, and if you have any concerns or would prefer me to take it down, just let me know, and I’ll do so right away.
Congratulations on your new bookโIโm excited to see more of your work in the future.
