Reflection: I wrote this poem back in December 1997 in reflection of some of the relentless pursuits of adventure and experience I observed at the time – sailing the lows, and highs, and lows. Some of which ended up having devastating consequences.

Reflection: This was a popular poem that I wrote back in September of 1997 in reflection of being uncomfortably “drawn” to someone during an early, uncertain stage of romance. It felt both exhilarating and devastating surfing the highs, and lows, and highs for moments at a time. Part of me wanted to run away while the other part wanted to eagerly pursue.

Reflection: This was a popular melancholy-themed poem I wrote back in July of 1997 about friendship (and more), change, and moving on – and sometimes failing to appreciate those who surrounded us as much as we perhaps could have.

Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in September of 1996. Much of the early-to-mid 1990s for me were characterized by a series of awkward romances that tended to go from warm, to hot, to cool fairly quickly. Sometimes it was me, sometimes it was the other party, and other times it was both. Developing a sense of trust and commitment was challenging for me throughout that period of my life.

Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in September of 1996. I used to go to TGI Fridays later in the week in the evening before going out to other places, and one of the bartenders there was named Lisa. She was very attractive and very sweet. She told me about a guy who really liked her and that she started liking back as well – although, she said it took some time to get to that point. I wrote this poem in the attempt to capture what it must have been like for the guy leading up to where they had finally gotten; something I could strongly relate to – having had similar, haunting kinds of experiences.

Reflection: I wrote this popular reflective-themed poem in June of 1996 looking back on when I was in high school working at a gas station and some of the repeat flirtations that came my way from those a bit older than me. It was a fun time in my life and probably the best job I ever had.
