being free to do my own thing
leaving the past behind me

'Ray Raynor

I have six passions in life... my spouse Richard, our extended family Glo and Jay our two children, (cats), Midnite and Willow and poetry. Sometimes... in my poems... they are very dark... 99% of the time... I am not feeling the way my poems portray... moreover, the dark... depressing and cheating ones... or killing... is not me. I love creative writing... putting myself in other's shoes... if this is really possible. My spouse and I, are in a nature based faith and residing in San Jose, California. Thank you... for all of the responses... this teaches me something new about writing techniques and greatly appreciate your input. If you are personally attacking me over the poems ... get to know me first please... I am on Facebook. I Love using "..." this is for pausing or breathing... I use this for easier reading. Thank you for taking your time out to review my poems... So mote it be and many blessings. more…
