I am an up and coming confessional poet in the style of Plath, Sexton, Snodgrass and Lowell. I believe, fervently and powerfully, in following your dreams. I am a child of the universe just like everyone else. I am very interested in the raw and mysterious beauty of life and the cosmos. I am just as interested in Human Emotions and the complexity that makes up mankind.


I believe people are capable of whatever they put their minds to. I believe in the power of dreams and imagination. I believe in daring to have vision. I believe we can all fly.



Imagination is EVERYTHING. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. -Albert Einstein

I am an up and coming confessional poet with various publishings and awards. I am here to meet unique people and I try to respond to everyone. I am also an accomplished musician both vocally and instrumentally. I am in The Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus and The International Society Of Poets. I have performed all over the the city/country. I am greatful for any and all inspirational people and celebrities that have given me courage, determination and drive to continue pursuing my passions and dreams. I am looking for unique, beautiful individuals who have confidence, who have contributed to society and who are not disillusioned with an undeserved sense of accomplishment. I have seen the extreme upside of life but have also experienced the utmost downside of it as well.

Excerpt from "Miasma"

My God, what am I that people stop to point and stare? I lay here on my sodden couch staring at these blank walls waiting for happiness to come. I seeth in this white noise as my cats, little parasites, fail to take notice. Downstairs I hear the other tenants screaming and laughing in their blissful ignorance. They still look up at the sky and see the sun...I see a miasma.

Insist upon yourself. Be Original. Love Life. Love You.



"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the end, it is between you and yourself; It was never between you and them anyway."

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; he world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination re omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve he problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he eceived. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."

Coolidge

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Edward Everett Hale

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance."

Albert Einstein
