It fl owed out with tears. Now I smile when I wake, my family is my all. Twisted love is my collection of love poems, some sexy, crazy, some with a twist. All written from my heart and through life experiences. Enjoy

In 2020 the Covid pandemic was happening rapidly, changing everyone's life. Stores closed, there was a shelter in place for a whole year and death filled the air spreading like wildfires on a hot windy day. News ran its course, families were destroyed, healthcare workers at their breaking point. Hell happened while political monarchy surrounded the world. What were we to do? A time for reflection and reevaluation. Only jobs available were of three choices, Amazon, Federal Express and Doordash. Families trapped with each other, forcing love and patience to develop. Parents celebrating their precious moments that were lost in the hustle and bustle of the working world. Time stopped, not knowing what day was coming. Society began to change rapidly, and fear lit up the sky. Prayers lined up asking, “God save me!” We had to look at ourselves in all its chaos through a cracked mirror of the unknown. Personally, I grabbed my laptop to save me. It was my therapy. My mind began to settle with the notion of peace amongst the tragedy we faced. An idea flew along, to find an outlet for all these emotions. A calm summer day I started reading and posting poems of all types, pretty much the steppingstones of my journey through what we call life. I brought out real issues, fun, and fantasy as a place to escape from reality. My creativity got bigger, so I started my own poetry group called Language From The Heart Poetry. During this adventure I met a wonderful human who enjoyed my art of poetry as much as I did. A man known for his own phenomenal works of writing in all forms. Also known as the man with the golden pen. He was intelligent and had brilliant status, I was pleased. Poetry connects people because it is the language, we all have in our hearts. This man and I spoke the same language. The camaraderie of poetry bonded us. An incredible friendship developed, and a working/writing collaboration began. Our work was full of passion. So, I asked him to partner with me on making an art site where we can share literature, music, and storytelling in all forms. He gladly accepted. Thank you to my friend and coauthor Mr. Dost Muhammad Rajper. We realized we were meant to collide in this common journey. Our art combined expressed some of the most brilliant pieces of poetry work I have ever seen. We realized we are better together. The book therefore began its journey to infancy, “Me and Blue”.

I never thought that I would spend my retirement writing novels. Then again I never planned on hearing a voice, not my own, inside my head. At my age many of my friends think I am going senile, but they are wrong! So this sixty something year old is in front of an old typewriter and waiting. Waiting to hear the rest of this story, but it has been months of silence. I am beginning to believe that it is over and the voice is truly gone. Therefore will not be telling their life story and perhaps that is for the best. Everyone knows that I can't type well and my grammar is terrible! That doesn't matter and what does is letting you know this biography! Perhaps I should just put this old typewriter back in its case. I will spend last of my years wondering before I also get put in a case. I hope my porcelain farm animals find a good home when I'm gone. WHAT? Okay The voice is back, but not as loud and different than before. But I am pleased to hear it again and hope my arthritis doesn't act up. I will manage the pain of typing many pages and finally get use to it. I should buy one of those computers everyone is using these days. I understand it could even help with my grammar, but I don't know? What? You are right and I am ranting on. But how should I begin this novel and it can't be at the beginning? What? Of course and why wouldn't it? It will start where I left off from my writings of Devan. This novel is named Aurorae and I beg forgiveness for my mistakes! Thank you Morgan E. Wentworth.

“I want to turn back the hands on the clock and change it all, make it different; three friends who meet up by chance in an old city and share a beer and laugh at old stories and jokes. But it wasn’t like that; and the clock has no hands, so I can’t turn them back.” [p.171] Alex Carlise has returned to a place he thought he’d never see again, outside of his dreams. As he walks the ochre-dusted road to the house in which he grew up, the memories of his young life in a small Italian town push all other thoughts out of his head: thoughts about the major exhibition of his artwork opening soon in London, thoughts of the myriad things he should be doing in preparation–everything subsides to make room for the warm flood of a time long past. When he opens the door to the now-deserted house, he is suddenly seven again. There is Jamie, his first friend, his best friend; Anna, his first love; and the delicious days they spent exploring the valley and swimming in the cerulean blue Mediterranean Sea. It all comes back to Alex in a way he can neither control nor discern. But the memories are insistent, demanding. Soon Alex loses entire hours to the past, overwhelmed by the haunting memories of a youth turned tragic. Alex remembers the day he, Jamie, and Anna went to their favorite place, an abandoned church far up in the hills. There they stumbled upon a man, injured and sick. From this discovery, a series of events tumbled forth that would change them all forever. Alex now realizes that he must confront the truth about himself, about the echoes of the past that still haunt him, and about the friends whose legacy has meant only devastation. Guy Burt’s vision of youth is piercingly accurate, and his sense of how time can play tricks on the mind is startling. Haunting, eerie, and remarkably assured, The Clock Without Hands will resonate with the child that hides inside your own memories.
