Mr. Poetic Biography

I am a poet living on the island of Boracay in the Philipines. I was a Chicago Police Officer for 20 years and now I am retired and write poetry all day in the sun. My dream is to one day be a published poet. But it doesn't matter if I do get published because I am still living my dream by being able to write my poetry while I gaze upon the horizon across the ocean. So whether I get published or not is just a dream that hopefully will come true as well. Though I've been a cop for many years I never considered law enforcement as my true profession. My true profession is that I am a Poet and I will never retire from my true profession because my poetry is what defines me as a man, a human being, and a creative individual. When I create a poem I feel like I've accomplished a great task because not everyone has the abilty to express themselves on paper. But when you are able to express your love, hate, pain, sorrow and good fortune on paper then you should consider yourself a lucky person. The sad thing is that none of my friends or family think that I have the abilty to become a famous poet. Well, maybe that is true but I can't stop believing that the world will know who I am because of the words I write. So never stop believing and never stop writing. But never, ever write for finacial gain, write because you have the love and abilty to create art on a blank piece of paper. And when you create art through the words you write then you will enrich your life in many ways and you can't put a price on that.)

The Best Poem Of Mr. Poetic

I Don'T Want To Die

I believe in Jesus
I believe in God
I try to live a good life
But life is very hard

I try to love
So I can find Heaven in the sky
But why must I find Heaven
On the day that I die

If u lead a good Christian life
U will be rewarded in death
But I need to find Heaven
With the life I have left

Why must a cease to exist
To live with an angel on a cloud
Why can't I find Heaven
In the life I have now

My life is difficult
But I try not to commit sin
But why must I perish
For my life in Heaven to begin

Why can't I find Heaven now
Because I need Heaven in the life I now live
But yet in order to find eternal happiness
My difficult life I must give

Is there a place on this planet
Where Heaven is alive
Or must I wait till the end
Until I no longer can survive

I live in America
The land of the free and the brave
But are the soldiers in Iraq
Finding Heaven in their graves

I don't want to die and go to Heaven
I want Heaven Now
The only problem is I am sad
So someone please show me how

Show me how to find Heaven
Has anyone out there found such a place
If u somehow managed to discover Heaven
Let me know becoz my life is a disgrace

I try to find happines in the people I love
I try and find Heaven in my children and wife
But my family is also searching
Becoz Heaven does not exist in their lives

So I try and find an answer
In wine, drugs and booze
But when the bottle is empty
I feel defeated and abused

So I take a hit of a joint
Maybe I'll find Heaven when I'm stoned
But when the high of the joint ends
I am still all alone

Is there a place where happiness lives
A place where I don't have to cry
I want to find Heaven
But I don't want to die
