This, my first book of verse, was published in 1987. I have revised it, added an introduction to each poem, and brought the writing up to current standards. It contains 44 rhymed poems, 8 of which are sonnets. Love and longing are the main themes that permeate this youthful work. If Rene Descartes had been a poet, he might have said, 'I feel, therefore I am.' If life is not felt, then, for the poet, it does not exist. Feelings are our windows to the world; through them we love, hate, desire, fight, flee, find happiness, joy, romance, satisfaction, sadness, and most importantly, develop...

Here is my soul, undress her page by page Behold her private acts upon the stage Pray, hold her gently as you browse and look This is my soul you handle, not a book. Poetry is a precious, ancient wine, made to be savored and remembered, not gulped and forgotten. It is the grand opera of life, which must be performed to be appreciated.

These 46 poems (12 unrhymed, 20 short, and 14 long) were written between 1990 and 1993, when I was in my mid forties. Each poem is introduced by a few sentences to set the mood, focus the attention, and entice the reader to read between the lines. The themes that permeate this collection are love, passion, grief, yearning, reflections, beauty, and nature. The metaphors are vivid, paint images for the eyes of imagination, invite interpretation, and provoke contemplation. Whereas a child, hitting on the piano keys, can bring agony out of ordinary notes, an accomplished pianist can bring delight...
