      Poetic Expression

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~INTRODUCTION~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      This poetry book goes out to anyone man or woman that wants to express themselves how they see fit. Your demographics dont matter here. I have collected a various amount of my most intimate work and I am pleased to share with all of you. Everything is white because I want you to paint your own pictures of what you see when you read my art. I hope you enjoy!

      Warning!!! There are religious references included. Each poem with the references will include a star next to their name in the Table of Contents.

      Garden

      I asked myself one day what to you really desire

      If I said nothing I’d be a liar

      If I said everything I’d be too vague

      If I told you the truth you'd know my only escape

      I can't tell you what I really want

      So I switch the words and change the font

      I run outside and hit the ground

      I clutch the tools with feelings profound

      And dig into the worlds rich soil

      And plant my seeds until my skin leaks oil

      Until my crops have been
