Poetry

This is just a short note to say that I’ll be posting some of my poetry and some other gems I stumble across from time to time and my aim is to bring to you some understanding of the joy and journeys that I’ve seen in my life penned for your soul’s enjoyment.

If you get a pang of guilt, a knot in your stomach, a tear in your eye…or any combination of emotion welling up inside you when you read my words, then I’ve succeeded in touching the understanding deep within you.

Yours Only

A fissure in my heart was yours; is still your address.
I know you can’t knock to make your thirst less.

Drink of me when you drop by.
I’ll never ask you why.

Our souls are similar; warped by time, but familiar.

I pine when you speak of pain;
you cringe if I impart the same.

Quench your thirst down to foundation’s last drops
where the first crack is yours and never stops.

Change your thinking - create passion!

"I Don’t believe life is about you as an individual — it’s about how you contribute to society, starting with the people closest to you and the people you come into contact with. It’s about adding value. It’s about caring. Frankly, it’s about all the small and seemingly irrelevant things that are often taken for granted. Life is about a kind word or a random act of goodness. It’s about contributing in a passionate manner, with an open mind and an enthusiastic and caring attitude." ~ Beverley Merriman

"Everybody, my friend, everybody lives for something better to come. That's why we want to be considerate of every man; Who knows what's in him, why he was born and what he can do?" ~ Maxim Gorky

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." ~ Anne Frank"
