Introduction

When I was in my English class in my junior year at Redwood High School in 1962 Visalia, California, I became fascinated with Poetry. Although I have thirteen books I’ve written and published my books on Smashwords.com.

I’ve always wanted to take the poems I’ve written throughout the years and put them in a book.

In this collection are a few poems I’ve written about my feelings while I was in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968. The poems CONFUSED, Circle of Life, and Love me Now, Don’t Wait from my book, Twenty-One Months. The poems CONFUSED and Love Me Now, Don’t Wait received special recognition in the Veterans Voices – Summer 2016, Booklet.

I also have a few poems that I’ve written especially for a couple of my books, such as From the Darkness of my Mind, from the book with the same title, and A Grandfather’s Revenge, from the book, American Terrorist – A Grandfather’s Revenge. The rest of this book's poems are mostly love poems I’ve written over the years.

Several of these poems have been made into studio-recorded songs like: Invisible to Me, Beautiful Weed, She Touched my Heart, Why Fight it, Never Going to Love Me, Distance, Circle of Life, and I’m Going Back to Caddo Gap.

I wrote this poem in 1968 during my active military duty. I was twenty-one years old and serving my combat duty in South Vietnam. We had no phones and received very few letters. This poem was inspired by being far from home and feeling the emptiness of no contact with family members.

Love me Now Don’t Wait

Don’t wait until my soul has left this earth

Let me steal the words from your lips

Why wait until
