Especially poetry. Throughout his life he spent a lot of time alone. Which left plenty of time for the mind to wander. He struggled with the demands of being a parent, moving with his career and of course, finding that special someone. Most of the poems are written from impulse. An inspiration that had to be captured at that moment or lost forever. Never did he imagine himself a poet. But realized it was something that should not be taken for granted. Now he fells it is time to share his collection in hopes that his writings could help someone along the way or give them something to dream about.view less
