WELCOME

..and here are a few things to keep in mind:

This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.

Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”

Wreck

oh my goodness.
you don’t know,
what it is you’ve done.

I was so afraid,
afraid you’d been killed.
I was so scared.

I don’t know how
I could have gone on
if you’d been ripped from my life.

I love you so deeply.
you're one of my best friends,
despite our differences.

please, be careful.
guard your life
as though it was mine.

you would do anything for me,
and yet,
you despise yourself.

For me,
From me,
Take care of yourself,
Please.
