“Who am I? I'm a poet. What do I do? I write. And how do I live? I live.” –Rodolpho, in Puccini's La Bohème Before Passion Becomes Philosophy Such Beauty Such Fair Beauty That We Should Know In Them And Call Them Ours… The Rose, Symbol of Passion. The embodiment of life. Its scent enchanting... Its petals enticing... In each silky-smooth...  fragile fold... Images of past, present, and future Are suggestively rendered And ready to be found. The Rose, Symbol of Philosophy The representation of opposites. A source of profound beauty And at the same time, If one fails to grasp it properly, A source of prolific pain And resonant regret. This Blog is dedicated to the Passion of Life Before the Philosophy of tomorrow gives it Its meaning. The yearnings... the longings... The desirous aching found Within each unrestricted beat Of a man's heart. This is my story and these are my songs Now and for all time WELCOME TO THE PLAYGROUND OF MY MIND…

Welcome and thank you for coming. Enjoy my bio below. My pieces speak for themseleves. My work here is older, and I am picking through them for revisions and restructuring. -Robert

I started writing when I was incarcerated in feb 2013. It is and was very cathartic, it has in many ways helped me express and reflect on myself. It has become very important to me. Every piece I write is a small piece of myself. Hope you enjoy.

Reader, Writer, Painter, Carver, Author, Chef, Comedian, Stargazer,Monk, Mason, Monster,lol... "Your love tainted me from within, Was your arch angel, but you turned me into Damien . Regardless, still the most earnest artist, no matter how far my minds departed into darkness."

Just the many conversations that I have with a pen and a pad.

Just another high school student who doesn't have a clue about life or how to write.

I'm Jessica, I live and go to college in Florida. Almost all of my poems started out as song lyrics with tunes and repeated chorus's but I narrowed them down into poems, it's the same kind of expression regardless. I figure that it somewhat applies, so to understand my form of writing a little more, I am an INFP. I have always had a passion for wordplay and writing; It's awesome how many different forms of writing there are and how many ways it can be expressed, as with art in general. Follow and I will read/comment on your poems that I really like. Happy writing :)

Many say I'm having hard times at the moment but i always say that it can be worst so I'm having a good time day by day
