Williams has been writing poetry and essays for many years and his work reflects a sensibility that extends beyond national borders and encompasses the dichotomy of poverty/wealth, striving/acceptance, ancient/modern, and the particular and universal. Circus by Moonlight contains 121 poems written between 1990 and 2007. On this page you will find a few poems from the book.

 

Where My Brother Builds Castles

this place is now at your command
the sand is cool and pliable
and castles are your fortress
to expel the onslaught
welsh archers at your disposal
entire cities to be chiseled
by the strength of your vision

this place is now at your command
a benevolent kingdom on the shore
where you had designed worlds for
the pleasure of clan and attendants
and we shall forever tread lightly
over this landscape of remembrance
for here sits a city on high

 

 

Paradise Possible

maybe somewhere
there is a
place for all this love

before heaven claims
a world
with no more time

and rivers
abandon their steady
pulse
