Poems and Reflections from the Heart

Over the years I have written poems and put my dreams and thoughts on paper. I've shared them with a few people but mostly kept them in a drawer in my desk. They were written during happy times and sad times. I must confess that each one was motivated by some event in my life. As with all of us, I went through different phases in life. In College, I seemed to be obsessed with lost love and trying to figure out what love really is. I also spent many hours trying to define the soul and the spirit. Many of these poems, dreams and reflections reflected those times. Later in my twenties and thirties, I was almost obsessed with reason, logic and what drives emotions. You will see that in some of the writings. As I am getting older, I think more of dreams and my childhood without a father. I miss youth and the wild abandonment of restraints. I miss the strength of my emotions as they are dulled with age. That is shown in some of the writings. I hope you enjoy this little book. It is truly a look into my soul and my most private thoughts and dreams.
