Robert J. Emery
Over my career, I have written, produced, and directed both feature films and television programming and everything in between and have been honored with over 75 industry awards along the way. To date, I have published six books, four of which are nonfiction. My first novel (as Robert J. Emery) was chosen as one of the top five finalists in the Next Generation Indie Books Awards. I now write under the pen name R.J. Eastwood. My latest novel, “The Autopsy of Planet Earth”, received the 2017 Authors Circle Novel of Excellence Award for Fiction, and the 2018 Readers' Favorite Gold Award for Science Fiction. I am currently completing work on my new novel thriller “Midnight Black”, due out in October 2018. I invite everyone to visit my author web site…www.robertjemeryauthor.com. When not writing, I cook Italian having grown up with a Sicilian mother, a wonderful cook who took the time to insure each of her children knew how to prepare a great Italian meal.
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
