Poetry chose me, I didn't voluntarily enter this path. However after much reluctance I gave in and now I am transformed by poetry and writing on the whole. I have written many books, but book so far i have published one of them it is entitled Heaven's Secret. Anyone who wishes to contact me can do so by emailing me at stroseman@hotmail.com.
But there is more to my story. i can't explain most of it just like the rays of the sun, but i could feel it. It is almost as if i have been born to write; a poet not manufactured, but planted in the earth; one hundred percent natural. I remember when I was about fifteen it was like a poetic energy just took hold of me i couldn't stop writing. i had written in a copybook about fifty poems in the space of two weeks. it was like i was in a trance or something. i called the book
'behind the curtains of life.' But what was more baffling was the fact that i never really read any poetry or liked any poetry for that matter. yes it was truly strange. But in retrospect i see where this was probably my inner self hinting to me my purpose. that is, what I should be doing on this earth. what i was born for. what my soul was implanted in my body for.

trapped in a narcissistic shallow bubble as it were.

We behold a common error,
imperfection at its best.
We try to hide our faults,
pretending to win this test.

Oh eternal everlasting Sublime,
cleanse this filthy heart of mine.
Remove my sins in which I wallow,
so that I may start a new life tomorrow.

Angels beckoned by the sounds of silent bells,
as if it fills the air with the irony of harmony,
and a symphony that crescendos towards heaven's hills.
There is a sweet silence filled with Nature's sounds;
