Former US Army, Farmer, Security, Factory Worker and other pursuits. Now I write, enjoy Photography and study Nature. Most of my poems are somewhat dark. My Halloween efforts are inspired by Poe, my general poems by life.

Mostly though I'm just inspired by the words alone.

Location: Weedsport, NY, USA

and stars lights take over your eyes.
Your wonder grows deeper as black chases blue,
and my wonder grows deeper in you
