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.

SOUL SURFINGAt exactly midnight, my soul goes surfing, riding the waves of my past lives. For my body is only a buried shell, but my soul has seen both heaven and hell, and they are both make-believe. My heart has seen hatred, but by love, it was relieved. | 73 Views added 8 days ago | Rating |
IT SUCKS GETTING OLDHere I sit, almost 50, waiting for prune juice and a rocking chair. I do not want my family putting me in a damn nursing home with others like me with fading tattoos playing a game of guessing what it was and pulling each other fingers to see if we... | 12 Views added 16 days ago | Rating |
IFIf you stand in one place for too long, you may drown. If you walk too long, are you walking to get somewhere? Are you truly listening to every sound that runs against sound? Do you hear the birds cry and the angels sing when you are born? You have... | 65 Views added 21 days ago | Rating |
