My poetry has primarily been motivated by personal experiences with other people in my life-friends, family, and loved ones mostly. I didn't even care much for poetry until I fell in love for the 1st time in December 2000. Plato has a quote that is the manifestation of my aspiring passion for poetry that says, 'At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.' I wanted the content of my poetry to not only sound intelligent and elaborate in design, but also to convey a clear, concise, and universal understanding for people of all educational backgrounds to appreciate while hopefully becoming greatly intrigued by its impact on their hearts and minds to become poets themselves or at least desire a much more sophisticated level of deepening comprehension of the powerful beauty/fascination for words!
'Let her want with me be in creating my need to express
the love I share-love's intimacy can only adequately give.'
I couldn't even hear my heart beat.

Dear Wife,
To whom I do not know who.
I give my heart and all to you
For you to keep as faithfully true
...
Come passion,
Invite your presence to me.
Come passion,
Burn your feeling on my heart
...
Please dream about some love every night
Life makes time throughout our heart
Before the heart gets too hard to warm
Like a fire after a cold wintery day.
...
Wouldn't it be great to find a woman I could love as wholeheartedly
Free from sin as God loves me?
How can I possibly fathom such a pure love like God's when my
Thoughts are more consumed with what a woman looks like
