Most of the poetry located here was written while I was stationed with the U.S. Army in Seoul, South Korea.  It was a most harrowing experience, and is only slightly responsible for drawing out the true nature of my ex-wife, thus leading to my divorce.  Every place has it's own beauty, and S. Korea's was hard to find.  These experiences, along with two very good friends, led to this outpouring of my pain and hope onto paper.
    I always ask that anyone who reads my poetry, start with the one below.  It began as part of an email message to a friend in Buffalo, New York and turned into the short poem below.

I ask you to see all of the sides of me and my poetry.
I want you to see that I am not all tears of sadness and pain.
Let me lead you to see the hope,
the faith
the lies within me and draws my hand to end with a chance.
I know I wasn't meant for eternal sadness
I know I wasn't meant for endless pain.

But, you can't enjoy the one,
without living through the other.
