  • Never Give Up

    Express yourself as only you know how to. Don’t listen to anyone who tries to knock you down. They obviously have no clue who you are or are unhappy with who they have become. Be true to you.

  • Tom Seaver – my childhood Hero

    In truth, it was baseball we wanted to watch. But the reason I became such a big fan was because of Seaver. We would run to watch as Seaver would stand on the mound, squint his eyes and concentrate on the signals given by his catcher, Jerry Grote of what pitch to throw.

  • It’s Complicated (Anything is Possible)

    Suddenly a piano begins to play and the brick walls are broken down, across the bridge you can see the past and all the visions they once held, now they are complicated memories and there is confusion among the inhabitants of this old broken down structure.

  • Day of Holocaust Remembrance 2019

    The population of Los Angeles and Houston – every human being in those two cities – add up to less than 6 million people. Imagine if both of those cities were suddenly swallowed up and each person was killed?

  • Absurd Beauty

    A list of lovers, a litany of excuses. Forgiven each time for the beauty… Below the blood red moon, yellow doors slamming shut and pebbles thrown against the windows of her room.

  • The Moon and Time

    We walk along beaches when the temperature has fallen and the moon is hanging low. We struggle for answers to the questions we’ll never truly understand or truly know. We howl at the Moon and anyone else who stands in front of us. We pen short poetry because we need to shed some tears. We…

  • Times up

    Claustrophobic ambitions can never set one free.  Thunderstorms and broken inhibitions are a recipe for love.
