I am here for Friends

About Me

Who am I, you’d like to know…Well, to be perfectly honest, that which you have not already gleaned from my brief introduction, you will probably never get to see. For in the brief words scattered here and there across this page, are pieces of the puzzle that is ME.The rest, the intimacies, the minutia, I keep to myself and reserve for the closest circle of those I am fortunate enough to call my Friends. Suffice it to say that I am in love with all things beautiful ~ Yes, you well might cite the old adage that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, and, well my friend, I would heartily acquiesce with this opinion. Beauty, through my eyes, can be found in the smallest of things, from a kind word, a good deed, a friendly gesture, to the deep azure expanse of starry skies.My dear grandmother, a kind and refined lady, always taught me that good manners, elegance and a quick wit are a person’s best and only letter of presentation. I am proud to call myself her pupil, for she taught me those things, which now form the basis of who I am, and whom I aspire to become. True, many a hand and word, and life have had an influence in who I am today, in whom I have become. I have seen both sides of the ever-proverbial coin, the ugly and the fair, that which is laudable and that which is most undesirable. Anger, jealousy, bitterness, violence have all left their mark; for are we all not exposed to the same at any given point in our lives? Ah, yes, but I would be remiss not mention that, so too, have kindness, gentleness, generosity, friendliness, wittiness, genius, talent and yes, love. Of these, I choose the latter part. I am not alone, but an amalgam of all the forces and influences present at any given point in my life.Worthy to mention as well, at the close of this verbose discourse, is the all-important fact that rudeness, crassness, vulgarity and meanness have no place in my life, in my vocabulary, in my mind or on this page, so please, I ask you kindly, keep them to yourself if they are a part of yours…Welcome, and enjoy yourself.

My Pen Awaits Impatiently

My pen awaits impatiently this night, For wandering thoughts to come to rest What is this feeling of high euphoria? Of both, heightened, and reactive states   To know you near, to feel you close...

The Ghost

Like a ghost through my own life I wander, A pale shadow of what I once used to be; Seeking out the love, the light, the laughter That our passion and your soul once brought to me.   Every room ...

My Love is Wth You Still

How hard it is to write these words, to see through the tears, to think through the pain. This heart within is broken love, see it lies on the floor now, rent in twain; I wished that&nb...

No Sabes

No sabes tú lo que daría Por poder reposar mi agotada cabeza sobre tu hombro; Trazar una vereda con mis besos por la columna de tu cuello; Yacer mi nariz en el artejo de tu cuello y tu pecho Y aspirar...

Recollections...

The miles stretch before me; I have nothing if not time- The road spreads as well, before me, Like a winding, never ending tongue.   Like the scenery around me Flashes quickly through my sight, ...

Cartas a un Corazon Ausente

Desde que te conocí sentí avivar la musa que durmiente yacía en mi corazón Tu mirada vaciladora y tenaz, tu sonrisa tierna y sincera; Esa forma tan tuya de caminar, como si llevaras a cuestas el peso ...
