My Darling, I am entirely thine
As kindling in pure Formidable flame
My Beloved, My precious love
My better self,
If the moment of Immortality
Unveil to exist between us
I shalt whisper your Beloved name
As phantom of delight
Riveting as melodious
As mating birds
My Beloved,
My fervent Solemn passion,
Your elegance and beauty
As begotten rapturous vibrant
ebullient portrait of LOVE
As blissful birth of precious
glittering mother of pearl
Invigorating to purify
my tumultuous untamed heart
My Immortal Angel,
My Dearest LOVE
My Joyful Darling
My eyes, worships Your Eyes
In pure adoration
My eyes can NO longer
hide my addiction
My Immortal Beloved
The LOVE of sublimity,
Should I not let my eyes
become lit, before YOUR eyes
As my heart’s pupil of febrile eyes
Dives in your endless ocean
of LOVE to be drowned in ecstasy
My Beloved,
My fervent Solemn passion,
My hunger has become a fain of fasting
My Darling,
Your Lips, a provocative budding beauty
which Loves to flaunts itself
shalt be my eternal
Adoring site of pilgrimage,
As my tender lips, as nourishing
As endless waves of ocean
can not resist rushing to wet
to rescue YOUR thirst of ecstasy
My Beloved,
My fervent Solemn passion,
Faithfullest heart,
My Love bound to you, As we stem
As rose garden of Elysium
As sweet scent of LOVE
Emanating from the blossoms
As our tender hands entangled
with Majestic Red Robe Of LOVE
As Our eyes wed
For moment of eternal serenity
to cast our Hearts net in endless
ocean of sublime ecstasy
to capture our own image of ONENESS
My Immortal Beloved
Sanctuary of Love, My Darling,
I am entirely Thine,
I clasp the hand of Love
As I clasp my body
As fortitude of Love
Against YOUR body,
The Citadel of Heaven,
As my lips penetrates the silence
to whisper tenderly in Thy Beloved ears;
I LOVE THEE,
As My hearts infinite tender majesty
Shalt illuminate the Devine promise of bliss
As it echoes in eternity,
As my heart decorate the tent of LOVE
My Beloved, My fervent
My Solemn passion,
My Darling, My precious one,
My soul exclaimed in delight jubilation
My Beloved LOVE
As I am fain to see THEE
in the Bethel of LOVE,
For Eternity
Forever Thine
Forever Ours

"For Whom the Book Tells (Four Fathers, Volume One)" by George Pritchard Harris

EXCERPT

For Whom the Book Tells
(Four Fathers, Volume One)
by George Pritchard Harris


For Whom the Book Tells is the first book in the Four Fathers series by George Pritchard Harris. Also available: Huckleberry Friend (Book 2), Lad on a Softened Stoop (Book 3), and Inside a Pair of Dice (Book 4). 



Description
Four lifelong buddies ramble on. Barrington, Illinois, accedes to the Eastern Seaboard, then back to Chicago. Finally, the compass points north by northwest.
You could say Four Fathers, in each of its volumes, is about "sex, and drugs, and rock and roll". Or you could say it's about the older virtues, "wine, women, and song". Anyway you want it, you will end up humming the same happy tune.
Four Fathers is everyone's tale even as it is unique to its characters. The bygone past is traveled without benefit of GPS. "Four Gigs" has an entirely different meaning in what is now virtual antiquity. The four fellow travelers stumble upon the raw and the cooked. The pages of the book of life form their dreams as their dreams form them. Missteps mark the way; but, after all, that is what the ride is all about.
Joe Cebellum, Fred Etheridge, Tommy Wanderby, and Sam Thorn step into the tumult to find the sybaritic and the kinesthetic. Confusion finds comfort from the storm disproving the notion you can't find your way home.
Volume One traces the early influences of nature and nurture. Exploration and wonder are the watchwords. This volume leaves the four lifelong friends upon a precipice of the turmoil of the times.

Excerpt
There was a brief time when Wanderby found the squalid shroud of guilt truly lifted from his soul. Wanderby, on leave from battle, languished on one of the Rock Islands that form part of the archipelago emanating from the Pacific island of Palau. He had fought in the bloody and crucial battles both on Palau and on Mariana. On Palau, he witnessed thousands of Japanese- soldiers and civilians alike, men, women, and children, throw themselves off a cliff rather than fall into the hands of what they all knew, unequivocally, to be the vilified, inhuman American savages.
Before going into battle again, Wanderby spent four weeks with a native girl whom even Marlon Brando would have coveted.  When Wanderby first met Salaia, she offered to him some local shellfish. Her gesture to join her was accompanied by a large, big-toothed smile. Wanderby was struck, and stricken, by the beauty of her caramel brown skin and by the depth and sparkle of her dark eyes. While sharing the shellfish with her, he could not refrain from longing for her voluptuous large lips as the moisture of the meal glistened and dripped to her chin. In his mind, to use his vernacular, the deal was cinched. As he moved closer to her, Salaia moved closer to him and placed his right hand on her left breast. Her breasts were taut but unfettered by any garment.  She leaned in to kiss him. They were on the beach in the moments just past dusk.  As the night proceeded, a plethora of bright stars dripped approvingly down from the dark omnipresent sky. The stars seemed so close as to be within reach.

Review
This is the first book in the trilogy which I found witty, thought provoking and entertaining. The spot on descriptions and the crystal clear prose are humorous and at the same time brilliant. There are only so many authors that I consider brilliant but there you have it! This author is brilliant!
I couldn't help but chuckle out loud even though I was in a room that was as quiet as a library full of people. For Whom the Book Tells is a light hearted story that is written like poetry. The writing is so smart that I had to scribble down some of the clever lines in my notepad for safe keeping.
This author articulates like no other. His language is rich and sophisticated even when he is talking about something of the most whimsical nature. He can make the most mundane function seem almost scientific. He has a keen use of the English language and at the same time he likes to have fun with his readers.... Or more accurately his "audience" since his story has a theatrical feel to it.

About the Author
The Four Fathers octology project was conceived in a hammock in Costa Rica in 2011. The Princeton Alumnus and retired trial lawyer has finished the first three books in the series. Author Harris remains quizzical, studied, and metaphysical while trying to adhere to his meek conception of fiction in the literary tradition. Four lifelong friends prance and stumble amidst a backdrop where Mance Lipscomb, Marcel Proust, Bull Durham, Bob Dylan, Heraclitus, and Jean Harlow all swirl in some fanciful mélange.
George has three amazingly beautiful daughters and the most beautiful granddaughter in the history of the world.

"Selected Short Stories Featuring Analog Memory" by Nicolas Wilson

NEW RELEASE
Selected Short Stories
Featuring Analog Memory
by Nicolas Wilson


Description
Selected Short Stories Featuring Analog Memory collects sixteen of Nicolas Wilson's earlier short stories. These stories are dark, brooding, and entirely too intimate.
Uncanny Valley: A man forced to be a luddite in a robotic world, by medical necessity, ponders whether his new fling is human.
Censlus: A census worker is murdered while doing his job.
Seed: An old woman meets a familiar face in an unfamiliar setting.
Faith Emmanuel: After a carjacking, a student finds himself financially at the mercy of a corrupt medical system.
Family Business: A marital fight ensues after a husband involves his kids in a life of crime.
Brickmouth: A buried vampire awakens.
Laborious Love: A robotic engineer builds the perfect girlfriend, and the perfect relationship.
Jesus Loves Me (Just Not That Way): A man wrestles with his sexuality.
Unlucky At Math: An intellectual ruminates on his relationship.
Fighting Mad: A soldier considers the toll that the military takes on Muslim soldiers.
Cowgirl Up: A memorial for a stubborn woman's fight with cancer, and love of smoking.
The Courage of Our Convictions: An old soldier examines the leavings of genocide.
Medicine: A friend falls back into addiction.
The Cost of Being Me: Some ruminations on the possibility of heaven, while dying.
Randomly Accessed Memory: A head injury causes a man to lose his memory, throwing his life into chaos as he regresses to his last known lifestyles.
Analog Memory: A former CIA operative has his memory reset in an unorthodox way, and deals with the glitches of the new technology.

Review
Here is the perfect analogy for this book: take a hundred or so thimbles, and fill them with something mysterious, alluring, and seductive to the senses. Then, quaff each thimble greedily until you finish them all. Then, realize that the thimbles were not enough, and rage in your unfulfilled angst.
Nicolas Wilson is an alchemist of short stories, turning the lead of a base idea into something much more precious - a vision. In this case, many visions. He possesses a dry wit that one finds in an accomplished satirist, and many of his stories dip into samplings of high hyperbolae that only men such as Vonnegut tap into to exploit the absurd and surreal. I was particularly tickled by his imagery in Laborious Love as he described Hitler having a sex doll by way of Japanese robotics made up to look like Hirohito, and the consequent image of him having sex with it while it made its crying face after Pearl Harbor. That is the only spoiler I will reveal, for the rest is just too good not to pick up and devour for oneself.
My only complaint stems from my desire for more, or rather, a wish to see these visions magnified within the volume. I would have wanted more of the stories developed to a more satisfying outcome; Wilson is wickedly good at setting the table, but I want to eat the dishes he's prepared rather than have them whisked away before I could enjoy them completely. To conclude, I would say that you will most likely enjoy this volume immensely, but want to read more afterward.
Please sir, may I have some more?

Review
It's strange to think that once upon a time not that many years ago, I didn't care very much for short fiction. I always felt like the ride was over just before it got to start whenever I read a short story. Intervening years have shown me the error of my ways and that in my short-sightedness (no pun intended), I was missing out of some of the best literature by avoiding this format.
Enter Nic Wilson and his Selected Short Stories featuring Cinderella Shoes (try saying that three times fast!). All jokes aside, this collection of short stories from Wilson's literary vault shows just how talented a writer he is. His ability to enthrall readers with compelling tales ranging from a stripper's brush with a sadistic killer with a shoe fetish to a talking dog who could lecture the Surgeon General on genetics is quite remarkable. Each story in this collection makes you think, feel, laugh, or even cry. Tales such as the very emotional "Capricorn" makes this collection a cut above similar works.
I have no idea if the stories in this book were republished elsewhere. But it's great to see such terrific fiction available for the masses. If you're a fan of short stories or just plain good storytelling, then I highly recommend you check out this collection. You won't be disappointed.
