Over the years, I've written over 200 poems, yet each one remains deeply personal. There are some which will never make it to this site, not because I am ashamed of them but rather because they are fragments of my soul. For me writing poetry has always been my own personal attempt at catharsis. I don't know that I've ever been truly successful. Sometimes nothing can keep the darkness away. Still, I have managed to retain some semblance of sanity so perhaps my efforts haven't been completely in vain.
The poems presented here are my chosen few...the ones that my heart has decided it's okay with sharing. Please note that 'Closer Still', the aptly named 'Physical', 'Loving You' and 'Wants' have a R rating and are not suited for anyone under 18.
