Journal sketches of forms cuddling what lovers never tell-
he was your charcoal dream, but I fancied him my lover. Never tell
he breathed deep against the grain. I must refrain from
noticing how my fingers tickled. Oh, what lovers never tell!
Fickle little changes, but he asked me not to erase, “for
imperfection is the beauty that laces what lovers never tell."
Engraved is that penciled smile hiding the hardened mind
of what I never knew; wishing to find what lovers never tell.

"A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood. The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others."
