Take it in
Ocean pearl
Sandy feet
Salty skin
Running back and forth
Feel the sun
Burning down
Ride it in
Take me out again
Take it in
Ocean pearl
Sandy feet
Salty skin
Running back and forth
Feel the sun
Burning down
Ride it in
Take me out again
I don’t know, I don’t know
My ideas run like FLOW
Why these things come out my head?
These things for long have been dead,
The water ran so quickly then,
And to life they come once again!
Working hard to make the cash
Afternoon with a little hash
Kitchen table once again
Comes in handy now and then
Recording time in a note
Keeps me high so I can float
I remember when I was a kid and someone saying to my mother, “she’s gonna grow up and write a book about you if you’re not careful”.
This book is about everything. All of me. I’m choosing today to finally put together my second book. I wrote my first book entitled JEANS, An Anthology of Poetry & Prose in 1996. It was co-written with a now distant friend and we published it ourselves at the age of 14. I figure that if I could do that at 14 then I can definitely do this now. I had taken time away from my writing for a period of approximately six years. Until, one day while sitting in on a friends class in university I began writing again. I was inspired. I was inspired by the room, the professor, and by the people around me whom I did not even know. It was as if I had been reborn and shed a new light on the world. It was back, never lost, I started writing again. Suddenly, I needed to express my thoughts. And so my pencil ran on paper twill and I just couldnt stop it. I have spent the last few years composing this compilation of my work. I have traveled, and matured greatly over the last few years, which has brought out some truly passionate writing. This book is a collection of short stories, poetry, and prose, which are all original works of art by me. I hope that you can enjoy this book and share it with friends the way that I have shared it with you.
