I hope you enjoy reading all the poetry I have written over the past few years. I will continue to write more as time passes on.
If you enjoy them please be sure to send them to your friends or like them with the facebook application.
This is a non profit venture as it is mainly to refine my writing style and become better at expressing myself.

Please show others your favorite poems and even feel free to discuss or critique my poetry. It would help me progress with my writing style.

Cheers,
Rob

Innocence

Innocence is something of the past.
And love is all that remains.
Some say it is the spice of life.
Only because it's all they have left.

So why can't we live for ourselves?
Not in greed, but in happiness.
Without sin or pressures.
Because our minds wear thin?

To meet a truly happy man.
Will he bring happiness?
Or anger at his fortune.
The truth is he is poor.

He never won the lottery.
He never got married.
He never did well at school.
He always got picked on.

But he remains happy.
This man doesn't rely on the external.
He knows the true meaning of independence.
His mind will never wear thin.
