In The writing that follow on these pages I have tried to express my feelings on a subject or about someone who I care for. I try to write what I feel and believe at that moment in my life. Most is about feelings, feelings that at times I have a hard time expressing. This you could say is my way to express how I feel. Most of these writings are started from truth but to develop a stronger meaning I have at times elaborated and on sum topics. I would also like give my thanks to Natasha Petrowicz who got me into writing poems, If not for her I would have never started to write my feelings on paper if not for her kind words. I would also like to thank my family and friends who have helped me in the last few years through this difficult part of my life. I hope that you enjoy my writing. I know I have enjoyed writing them.

Some of My Published Poetry

Can't Give You.

Across the world
I see you.
Wanting to be able
to love you.
Being confused
about my life
and you.
You love me but
why can't I love you.
Love is the Death of me.
Love is what you need
From me,
The only thing I can't
give you.

My Love

Across the country you live.
Once we met, we laughed, loved and cried
But yet so long ago.
Much time has passed
but, I still remember
you as if it was yesterday.
We fell in love there
on the cold hard floor
but yet, we did not once
feel cold or alone.
Now we are gone from there and
we are alone once more.

Hero

A rising sun.
falling water.
In life great people
have fallen.
Fell to the death
to save mankind.
Just as a mother
fights for her child.
Just as many have
fallen in the road
for peace.
These are heros.
giving of oneself
for another.

Imprinted

I turn to see your face,
your smile and warming glow.
The wide blue eyes that peered
deep into my mind and heart.
Careing for me and not
careing that we live far apart.
Growing closer each and every
moment we spent together.
Now that we have been
sent home, to the real world
I only have our memories
of your face imprinted on
My heart.

Mountain

Once
I stood
looking up,
only to see a
MOUNTAIN.Now I have
reached the top I realize
that it was only a hill and the
MOUNTAIN still lies before me.

To Face The Sea

The workd is so dark
My life is so dark
Knowing and feeling
so alone in side.
Needing to be wanted
Wanting to be wanted.
Knowing I have only
a few Friends.
Trapped by the sea
Trapped in my life
Alone to face the pounding
sea. Alone to face me Life

The Scruff on your face.
The kindness of your eyes.
The sound of your voice.
The colour of your hair.
I shell remember you as
you were when I was
younger, Strong Knowable
and wise.
Not as you were when you
left us for the life in the sky.

Without A Word
Without a word
I can see your pain
You without a heart I
feel your pain. Looking
in your eyes I see what
I must Do. I see what you want
Me to do. I don't know if
I can. I have to let you
Die. It is what you want Not I

Controlling My Life
With a death
grip I hold on
to her neck.
Not wanting
to let go, for she
is destroying my
Life. Squeezing
her neck tell it
Shatters letting
The Liquids pour
over my bloody
hands.
She still controls
my life and always
will.

The Ball

The Earth is spinning like a ball.
Around the moon as if her mate.
Never leaving the sight of him.
The Earth soars around the sun.
Soaking up its warmth and life.
Never releasing her hand.
The Earth; The Moon; The Sun,
have done this dance before.
Yesterday, and the day BEFORE.
