I started writing poetry and short stories as a teen and in my later years I once again started writing. I placed in the semi finals at FamousPoets Convention back in 2001 but didn't win. I use to be a member of Poetry.Com years ago and had several poems placed in the Library Of Congress and in print. Life led me in a different direction after 1998 and I did not write much. I have had many spiritual dreams and wrote those in a journal. Some came to pass and family members always listened when I would recall the dream. I landed here tonight by chance. Thought I would try my hand at some writing once again. Hope you enjoy what I post.

The beauty, the fragrance so grand; craving to be ravished 
By someone...

"WHAT IF?"

“WHAT IF?”

WHAT IF NOBODY FELT ANGER
AND SHARED THEIR TALENTS AS ONE.

WHAT IF JEALOUSY WAS DEMOLISHED
AND ONLY KINDNESS REMAINED.

WITH LOVE, WITH FORGIVENESS,
WHAT IF THE WORLD WAS ANEW.

THEN THE BEAUTY AND CONDITION OF LIFE,
WOULD...

THE ROBBER

“The Robber”

He came one night whilst I was asleep creeping through the door, True evil to the core…
The wind was rushing and battering at the windowsill
And the clock chimed about the hour of 12 O’clock…

I slept soundly unaware of the...

I liked the symbolism of soil, clay and death and pertaining to how life withers and dies and goes back to the soil as it was taken. The reality of life itself how it is envisioned here.
