I have been writing since I was eight years born & raised in northern new jersey. After having two near-death experiences and losing my passion for writing poetry, my daughter, girlfriend, and my grade school teacher got me back into the art of words. I remember a conversation that I had with my teacher. He told me the jocks might get the girls now but keep writing poetry because the words will get the words the girls once the jocks are old and fat later. Now I have the love of my life due to the poem I left on her car windshield. P.S. The poem The PROPOSAL was a success. She said yes, so the teacher was right."I THINK MY WORDS KNOW YOU" Poetry.com.

MINDI do not sleep because I do not care about dreaming. This life is an open book, and I am the writer and the painter of the pictures I care to read and see. Am I going mad? Is this a message of my reality | 13 Views added 10 days ago | Rating |
SOULSWhere do I stand when I walk all alone to a beat? Only I can hear all the souls and where they went through the years. These thoughts keep haunting me like the stars haunt the evening skies. Kindly pour me another whiskey and answer all of my whys... | 6 Views added 12 days ago | Rating |
MOUNTAINTOPHere, I sit alone on this mountaintop, listening to the sound of the pouring rain and looking at this painting that some may call a masterpiece. I get no rest. It seems like I am always awake. Who is it that is looking for my soul to take | 4 Views added 13 days ago | Rating |
