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.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

It's Personal

What if I could keep my life private?
What would it do to me
to keep it mine alone.
No one else to know
No one else to see
my deepest thoughts
my desires
No one to know me
No one who could read me like a book
flopped open before their eyes
No one to whom I must tell all.
Could I ever do it
Keep it all personal
Keep it all locked inside
What relief would I have
if I had no one
in whom to confide?
