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.

What thoughts are running through my head
how many lovers were inside of my bed
how many were just dreams, leaving me with no satisfaction and this never-ending erection my teenage confession

MY OWN HEAVEN

What makes a crusader a crusader
heroes are not born but made
why did you choose to make me
what parts are you planning to use
build a bomb, light the burning fuse

leave me alone
why make your holy war my fight
I want to be able to rest my...
