Personal statement

Born in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Grew up in Ann Arbor Michigan, USA. Worked for fourteen years in the service of developmentally disabled adults and children. Proud father of three children in an extended family of eight. Engaged to a wonderful woman. Writing off and on during my life, Soft Embrace is the first work I have made public

Now we have the time,

here we know the dream.

Bonding so sublime,

passionate the theme.

This movement we share,

ascending and profound.

Gently aware,

these feelings abound.

Now we have the melody,

here we know the tune.

Every touch in harmony,

our love under the moon.

Knowing eyes

Whispered sighs

Both adore

Sharing more

Souls alight

Passion bright

Rising tide

Will Subside

Soft embrace

Hidden place

Moments after

Gentle laughter

Deep inside

Love alive

Beauty there

Now aware

Cloudy days will come along

When it may seem you don't belong

If the feelings deep inside

Make you want to run and hide

In those moments dark as night

We will find the way into the light

Should confusion come to call

My love will stand throughout it all

Though it might not dry the tears

Still I am here to soothe your fears

Brighter paths there are to follow

Then solitude so cold and hollow

As gentle waves upon the sea

Our souls entwined as it should be

Golden sunlight in the sky

We never need to know quite why

My promise to you warm and true

Forever will I adore you

Deep inside us summer lasts

For I will always be steadfast

For Carmen

With love
