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.

PRAY

I do not want to do this anymore; I want to close the door and try to remember how to pray. Tomorrow is today, and I have to get away, but at the moment, I must stay
who is speaking and calling me. How can I hear but not see them? Have I lost my...

BRIDGES

I am waiting for the truth to come to me inside the darkness of the night, just like the day that I was born, but who gave me life? It is I alone that breaths this air, waiting for the stars to fill the skies of my reality where nothing seems to be...

STEPS

I take one step forward and two steps back. I don't know how long it will take to get there, but I know I will because my feet will not allow me to stand still. The person you see is not the same person you saw yesterday, nor will you see tomorrow....
