About Me


Actor, author, chef, director, musician, philosopher, poet.
'Tis the life of a wordsmith
not even close to the life that you've heard - it's -
it is not a life that most would treat as preferred
it's more than that...
more than chapters, verses, stanzas, pages, and columns
it's to love making every letter find a place it can fall in
a calling that stems from drawing sets of symbols that symbolize what you interpret
from ears and eyes and nose and dentals
and anything that contacts your environment and atmosphere
AND THAT'S WHAT KEEPS US BREATHING
a key part to survival like believing in idols
the meaning is part of a relentless livelihood
it's seething from every single pore
a flow that could fill the ocean from the floor to the shore
a notion completely worth the energy i pour into it
i couldn't imagine my life to be fashioned after a varying passion
this very moment passed me by in a flash;
it's poetry in action...
