The first poem I ever learned was when I was three years old. I was to give a talk in church, & though I don't know who the author was, I still remember the poem to this day;

"I had a little Smile, & I gave it away; to make somone else happy, You see? But, what do you know? At the end of the day, that smile came right back to me..."

Later in my life, I started writing poetry, as a third grade student for a teacher that taught us about epitaphs at Halloween time. Each of us was to write one of our own. That was my first peom, it was followed by a Haiku, required by the same teacher, about cherry blossoms blooming in the spring...

From there sprang a desire to fill the minds of others with vivid images painted on canvases of text. I hope that all my writing inspires thoughts, feelings, emotions & penetrates to the ultimate core of the readers who view it...

I

want

to dedicate

my life's work & all

of my accomplishments,

whether large or small; to my wife

she, to whom I've given my life, & my soul

Some day, when I'm gone, she may hear or come

to a knowledge of my writings on this site. My feelings &

my comments, my fantasies, my secret wishes; that with all of the

fervor of my heart, I would satisfy, quench, & satiate with

you my love if; if only that were your desire too.

I'd finally be a complete, & fully happy

man; if only you had the same

desire to give of yourself, of your beautifull heart,

mind, & body to the hopelessly               devoted man who stands

in your shadow, worships                              your very existence, &

longs for a day, & a time                                     that I can be able to

measure up to be the                                     man that I would need

to be for you to want to                            fully love...to want to give

your-self; To want to share             with...To want...To need...To

desire... To be proud of & to      regal with the dews of your

passionate embrace... without care for the morrow, for

the money of the world... for the "Things" that my

sweat can purchase, for the bills that I know

will never ever go away... No matter

how much or little

I'm able to make, or not make.

For the size, shape & feel of the home that you wish you had. The life that you wish I could provide... I love you for who you are... For the brilliant smile in your lovely eyes in those few moments when I AM able to satisfy & please you. It is, in those moments, when I LIVE, I LOVE, I FEEL, I AM. I so wish that I were capable of making them happen so much more often for both of us. Please; If you ever see this, take it as the very large Diamond that I so wish that I were able to put on your finger to replace the small one that I gave you because it was the best that I had. The best I could do at the time. You really want more than who I am; you need a prince of Siam. A King, a man of means, a man of a great courage, of excellence, of valor. I appologize to you that you are stuck with me, with someone so much less than what you thought you were getting. Thanks for your richness in beauty. I guess I'm a unworthy specimen that you have had to be stuck with, & have had to put up with. 

I wish that I was more for you. Given my wish, I'd provide you with more in life, and fill all of the dreams that you believe you have, so unfulfilled, I would see them all realized. Hopefully, where I am now, I'll be given the ability to reach down from the position where I've been placed, & be able to help you to find a soul to take my place who deserves you, & who can, & will bring to your earthly table the fine, the delectable & the well placed things in life, that you deserve. You're my jewel...I want you to know that I really & truly do love you, with all my heart, mind & capability... For you I exist...But with you I languish...
