I live in a small town somewhere in western Canada. I am a fire officer in our local fire depatment and I am grateful to have the chance to help those who can not help themselves. I recently began writing poetry out of a need to express my feelings and as you will see, I try to put as much feeling into my poems as possible. I live life to the fullest of my abilities and enjoy the benefits of family and good friends. I write for myself, but I hope you can find some enjoyment in my rudimentary poems. Thank you for reading them.
The call came in early in the morning
I was dreaming of my love, so distant and untouchable
...
The late summer breeze blows
A hint of winter’s coming snow
A hint of peaches ripe on the vine
A strange mix that makes the senses reel
...
If my heart had wings
It could not fly any higher
Than it does when you and I are together
...
I find myself transfixed by the most amazing portrait
And as I examine it with a critics eye
I become more aware of the depth
And the detail on the surface
...
Who are we to each other that this love is so deep?
I am your wind that blows across the open prairie
You are my tall grass that lives only to wave in the breeze
...
