Of Magic and Miracles- I wrote this in October 1989, long before I allowed my experiences to corrupt me and make me the cynic I am. This is one of my favorites.
The Thief of Hearts- Again another hopelessly romantic expression of who I once was.
Dear David- This poem was an attempt to help me cope with the death of my second lover who passed from us December 19th, 1989. I wrote this in April 1990.
The Sound of Breaking- Again another attempt to cope with letting go. I suppose letting go is one of the things I have learned to do the best. Written in February, 1998, I found that time heals me quicker as I mature.
Viral Prejudice- This I wrote shortly after coming out of the closet when I realized that there was a great ignorance of the nature of disease. I watched a lot of friends cope with alienation and shame inflicted sadly enough by our own kind and this angered me.
Amends- I wrote this in an attempt to make my apologies to my first love. I was young and foolish and not prepared for love when it knocked and made many mistakes.
The Birth of Cynicism- Many times in my life I have walked the line of cynic and believer; however, I always recover my bearings and learn to overcome cynicism. It is easy to become cynical in love, and harder to hold fast to faith.
The Journey Inward-After every experience I find it necessary to revisit the foundation of my youth when I believed all things were possible. Finding myself was not too difficult.
I will share more as I recover the writings from storage.
