HOME

I have kept a journal for many, many years.  I started in 1985 when I moved to New York City from North Carolina to start my professional career.  A few years ago, I had the idea of publishing a book of my observations.  However, through the miracle of the internet, I now have the opportunity to share my writing with many, many more people than who would have ever bought a book of poetry.   This is the book that I wanted to publish.  I hope you enjoy it... 

UNSAID
 
It was on the tip of my tongue.
I was just about to say the things that come to mind
Whenever I think of you.
 
I almost said them.
But then I became afraid.
Afraid that you might laugh at me.
 
So, I didn't say anything.
 
I hated you for making me confront my own fear...
But only for a moment.

To let go.
To be the fool.
To feel the exhilaration of my flight to you.
 
It was on the tip of my tongue,
But it slid off the face of the world and was buried,
UNSAID.
