Everybody that I have met or
brushed shoulders with in a crowded room in the middle of no where on some
snowy winters eve in a
store that was basically filled
with candles and the light was only dim to each eyebrow that was raised
when I walked in.

See what I mean?
One simple moment in our lives becomes a drawn out dramatic interpretation of a simple, bump into to someone and become familiar with the nature of why, what, where and every reason you could possibly come up with.
That is where I draw my conclusions.
Simplicity starts when I pick
up the pen.
Complexity starts when I direct
that pen into words.
I rarely can understand my motives
in each poem.
Unless it is directly written
to someone,
which in turn I dedicate that
muse to them.
Often many poems come from a
deep mooded emotion stored up
for centuries waiting for its
chance to come out.
To jump right outta my chest
and lay promise to a sheet
of paper.
I write from my heart, will tears, and fears and love.
Will you be my next muse?
Only time will tell me or you
that......
