I started writing early in my life. Most of my works have been short stories, but I have drifted more to the poetic in recent years. I fell in love with poetry thanks to a professor I had in high school many moons ago.
I am currently a student at Buffalo State College in Buffalo, NY, studying Literature. Writing, which as of right now, is a labor of love for me. I write for myself and not for others. I love what others say of my writing and thank them for their comments, but I know many writers and poets with much more talent than I.
I have one sister, Jennifer. Of course, I also have my little love, my terrier, Ozzie. I am a big fan of the National Hockey League's New York Islanders as well. I have a dream to visit Ireland again and am seriously considering moving there after I finish my Masters.
'Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.'
-C.S. Lewis
Step on it good and hard,
make sure it is dead.
Hope under heel,
grinding into powder.
...
Coffee replaces blood,
televisions replace the mind.
Just another day here,
in corporate America.
...
We once lived in a world of music,
a world where the tune infused our bodies.
The dance floor was ours alone,
be it at home or on the town.
...
December snow falls among naked trees,
blanketing fallen leaves like soldiers on a battlefield.
Paths covered with footfalls from the past,
...
