☆°▪︎ A FAREWELL TO REASON ▪︎°☆

Reflection: I wrote this poem back in March of 1996 as a brief commentary regarding “progress” being made on multiple fronts but not yielding a change in overall results. Sometimes, the simplest of poems say so much.

☆°▪︎ A ROLLAWAY KISS ▪︎°☆

Reflection: Here’s a popular romantic-themed poem I wrote back in December of 1995 in reflection of my teenage and early adulthood years. It seems I was the better “wingman” than most of the friends I had during that phase of my life.

☆°▪︎ A MONUMENTAL TOAST ▪︎°☆

Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in December of 1995 as a sort of a tribute and retrospective celebration of the wonderful people in my past who deeply inspired me and helped me to get to where I had gotten to in life. I was greatly appreciative, and this was one of the ways I wanted to show it.

☆°▪︎ NIGHT DANCES ▪︎°☆

Reflection: Here’s an interesting poem I wrote back in October of 1995 – a period of much adventure, exploration, and new experiences for me. It was such a fun and exciting period of my life. This poem was primarily inspired by certain persons I was strongly attracted to back then who I saw regularly in a favorite nightclub. I’m not sure now whether it was that the place was so much more fun than the places I’ve been to these days or whether the person I’ve become these days is less fun. Perhaps a little of both.

☆°▪︎ LIPSTICK TEASE ▪︎°☆

Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in September of 1995 which also looked back on when I was in high school working at a gas station and some of the experiences I had and some of the observed experiences of others. It was a fun time in my life and probably the best job I ever had. I always look back fondly on those days.

☆°▪︎ THE LAMPLIGHTER ▪︎°☆

Reflection: This was a popular inspirational/hope-themed poem I wrote back in May of 1994. It’s written about those wonderful, positive spirited people who show up during some of the darker moments of our lives and make things better. We feel better just being in their presence and that’s such a wonderful way to live a life.

☆°▪︎ MOONLIGHT BAY ▪︎°☆

Reflection:

This was the very first poem that I wrote on 1 Aug 1991 called “Moonlight Bay.” It was inspired by someone that I was highly attracted to, and frequently made eye contact with, but could never talk to until I finally forced myself to – as awkward as it felt at the time. I have written 366 poems in total since then and published my first book of poetry back in 1997 of some of my earlier poetry – including this one. The book was titled “A Farewell to Reason” and I wrote it under my artistic pseudonym, “Echo.”
