Born and raised in Oklahoma, I like to shape and mold, a tight verse to convey my forged messages.
The sheer range of my accomplishments is not measured by the number of poems I’ve written but rather by the lives my poems have touched. Like many before me, I’m a contributor to the world of poetry and literature, while loved by my many aficionados.
My success is driven by persistence and perseverance. The power of teaching can be found in the lives of ordinary people and success can be attained doing what one loves to do.
I spend most of my days writing and personalizing poems for expected and unexpected events, as the sun sets on the Oklahoma horizon west of my home town.
I hope I can inspire people to want to fall in love with writing poetry, like I have…Raul
My condolences can’t ease the pain,
That you have come to feel.
Nor fill the void in your heart,
That often seems unreal.
...
When you think of the ocean,
Does it remind you of me?
How those waves of emotion,
Surged with human ecstasy.
...
Your kingdom of words,
Has come crashing down.
from the rubble of letters,
Emerged your throne of nouns.
...
The birds sung their saddest verses,
As the clouds cried in silver tears.
The horizon beckoned for the sun,
But the sun failed to appear.
...
The love of my soul...comes after I pray,
I thank the Lord...for the start of each day.
My journey of peace...comes after I yawn,
...
