Death, the great unknown, the final journey we must take alone. It comes to us all, without warning or delay, and leaves us with nothing but memories to stay. It's a journey we can't escape, a fate we must all embrace. It's the end of our mortal coil, the...

Where I Live

What I see and hope to see.

Used to be a farmer Used to till the ground Now my tractor's silent I can faintly hear the sound That memory of my father As I sat on his knee While he taught me the value Of the planted seed Used to be a milkman I used to be your friend I used to be some...

Our connection Like the enlacing of the veins of a leaf Bringing nourishment To the locus of my flower Stimulating the core of my existence Your gentle caress Titillating Like the tickle of the breeze Wreathing its fervour around my spirit Breathtakingly...

"Well, how old do you think I am." There is nothing titillating about nudity. Its a lifestyle. Once you are naked, you're naked. The maniacs of Cheetos push nudism as a cult. I could say the same thing about "singers" in Nashville wearing cowboy hats. The...
