Mountain Men is about a person who is flooded with confusion, and forced to make a crucial decision...

The poem itself is a metaphor for several different times and circumstances in life, so I leave the underlying meaning up to the reader.

The special request: Cheryl, of Northern California, writes that she just gave birth to a beautiful, healthy, seven pound two ounce baby girl during the first week of December. Kristen Marie has her father's dark coloring, Cheryl says, but she isn't likely to get anything else from him. A single Mom, Cheryl would like a special poem, something she can give to her daughter when Kristen is old enough to appreciate it. Something to tell her what a wonderful, joyous moment her birth brought into her mother's life.

I would like to dedicate this poem to Cheryl and her "new light".

This poem is about a guy who loves a girl with all of his heart, and he's forcing himself to let her know, even though he is consumed with the fear of her not sharing his feelings.

This poem expresses the emotion that I consider to be the most True Love of any other imaginable.

Love runs deeper than words, and it is for that reason that this poem can not express True Love to it's full extent. However, with the help of the human heart, the words of this poem can be translated into the most magnificent feeling in the world.

The Ultimate Dream is a poem based upon my own inner struggles with love. All I can say about this poem is that it is one hundred percent true.
