    About this ebook

    This book was written in the middle of many sleepless nights. The type of night that doesn't end until the birds start chirping. Listening to records and being seduced by the power of music. Often times not able to write a single line until the sunrise, and then in an instant the words would fill my head rush on the page. These poems are about facing up to the fact that one might not be the person they think they are and the conflict that grows inside as a result. This book is based on struggles with alcohol and an ongoing effort to be better. It is the realization that the world is drowning in a sea of hypocrisy and is becoming increasingly more difficult to change.

      GOING TO A PARTY with Alzheimer’s

      Jul 2, 2020

      It is a Saturday evening. I am getting ready to go to a party. I am not looking forward to it, though it is hard to explain why. I can see the tremor of my fingers, as I apply my make-up. I worry that my lipstick is smudged, or perhaps on my nose in

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

       (featuring chasing dreams)

      I would’ve been a brilliant part of your illusions!

      If I could have just been given a chance to be the person that’s foreign to me

      I don’t know the reason why I’m supposed to be the person that’s expected of me.

      I’d like to join the confusion!

      For I realize that only intrusions

      Originate from sub-conscious thought.

      I sometimes imagine the fights.

         The fights with those closest to me.

      I’ll try to change

      Please don’t back away

      It’s imperative that I forget yesterday

      So that I may

      Continue the changes of today.

      I’d been an artist

      Had I not spent the time

      Searching for the end

      Trying to comprehend…

      I’ve been away for too long.

      All that we know doesn’t change where we go!

      It’s forbidden to travel/the judge pounds on his gavel/and I see my life unravel!

         Excluding the parts of me that remain a mystery.

      Something a new

      There’s nothing to do

      I’ve given my heart and soul to you.

      You
