Born: 12-06-74 I have been writing poetry for three years. I like to write about life, love, daily routines, friends, family, work, nature and my pets. I have been published by The National Library of Poetry and they recorded one of my poems on a cassette. I have just finished my first book, untitled, and hope to be recognized for my work and become published. Writing poetry is way for me to escape and express my true feelings. Writing poems makes me feel peaceful within myself.

Petals Blowing Through the Wind Petals blowing through the wind from the roses you gave me last weekend You hurt me and lied, I won't forget Ever giving my love to you, I regret I thought you were someone I could love and trust Now I know our love wasn't love but lust Goodbye to these little reminders, blowing through the wind.

The Room If I let you peer through the windows of my heart you'll see scars from the past relationships and wounds that never healed cover the walls. Pictures of old memories are hung up all around. Piles of yesterday's loves fill the laundry basket in the corner. In the trash are pieces of shattered dreams that got swept away. Off to the side is a room full of sadness and beside it a room full of happiness. Lying on the floor in a blanket of hope that I curl up in after a long day. If I let you peer through the window of my heart you'll see.....

Rose Love grows up and breaks through a crack in the ground. Growing stronger with every tear dropped from the angels in the sky. Growing more and more with each tender stroke of the sun: Love grows And blossoms into something beautiful and bold. Love starts to wither and turn ugly as things turn grey and cold. A soft White blanket comes down and wraps around love. Love lies down on the blanket and peacefully dies.
