The last hoorah

After a life time of wanting to write a book I finally did. Many of you who know this have read it, and the response i have been getting is very positive.I based the book on many of my own experiences in my life. Some good, some not so good. The story is about a man who entered the corporate world and after a successful buy out, he opened a bar on a mountain top location. It was a place frequented by both hard core biker types, as well as everyday folks looking for a place to hang out and do… Continue

Another from "A collection of my thoughts"

I love to write of solitude and gentleness.


It brings me such inner peace.


Telling of lazy summer days, and star filled nights.


Stolen kisses and words of love between two souls.


I love to write of happy things and times that bring smiles.


A young childs care free laughter and first steps towards growth.


I love to write of beauty that…

Another from "A collection of my thoughts"

The air was so very cold outside of our window.


Tiny crystals of ice formed illusions on the panes of glass


Seperating our warmth from the harshness of the black night.


Reflections of days past danced in the flames of our fireplace


You stood there staring into nothing, warming your tiny frame.


You have always hated the cold.


I saw the…

He walked carefully along the frozen waters edge. Aware of the dangers beneath the thin crust of ice.


Each step as light as the crust on grandmothers apple pie.


What was he searching for?


He paused for a moment, going to his knees he peered into a small h*** in the ice.


His face seemed sad, his body trembled from the cold.


A strange sight for me to be…

another from "a collection of my thoughts"

You came to me on the wing of a song.

An everlasting melody playing in my mind eternally.

A love song, a sweet smooth song like that of an angels harp

dancing in my heart.

With each passing day I will reach out and touch a note

and I will capture it in all of its beauty

for the beauty is you, and you are the song.

Another from "A collection of my thoughts"

I thought I sensed something near,


As I walked through the thickness of the forest.


As if my eyes were walking behind me,


Following each step I took.


I suppose I was just reflecting back


On some old Hitchcock films.


The sun filtering through the giant pines


Must surely be that stairway to…

another selection from "a collection of my thoughts"

The wind is blowing strongly tonight, as I stand on the beach, and remember
The gulls fly overhead watching, waiting anticipating there attack.
The ocean is the color of dust, ugly and un-tamed
The thoughts that take over ones mind are frightning.


I see two battle ships engaged in combat each taking heavy damage.
Many lives are lost. And I remember...
Flames split the night into day. Guns roar out thier battle…

one collection of "my thoughts"

He looked wise, and weather beaten
tired and lonley
he didnt belong on this busy street, with its crowds of people and screaming cars
i would bet he sailed the high seas at one time
a master of a sailing ship, who knew the waters of the world, and taste of salt on his cracked lips
a man who knew fear, but always conquered it
plain are the scars of age upon his brow
and the anger of being old
i wonder if he is…
