Adam and James

This painting is of Adam and James. Adam is one of two main characters from my novel, “Way of the World.” James is the boatman, who transports people from East New Haven to Mr. Kingsley’s private island. Mysteriously, the island has never been recorded by any cartographer, and no other person knows how to navigate through the thick grey fog well enough to get there.

Bitter’s Steed Walks Slow

Painful thoughts you sit and stew,

Badening memories come from you.

Hate the way you torment me, pry my brain with more longing.

Silent peace at once forgotten, flying angels seem like a concept.

Twisting neurons firing greed, winding my brain to selfish need.

Walking with my head down low, know where I’ve gone and where I’ll go.

Convinced at once with thoughts of doom, reflected by the grey clouds gloom.

Turning pain within my speak, writhing anguish churns in me.

So much loss with cost unknown, too much absence for hope to grow.

Leave me run from bitter’s steed, I have to breathe my soul to ease.

– Thomas M. Watt
