About Me

My photo
Poet, producer, spoken word and visual artist. Co-founded the lyrical music ensemble COPUS. My love of the sheer beauty of poetry took hold when I was in high school. Soon after I heard an album by the legendary "Last Poets". Later I Began writing and reciting poetry at cafes and upon various stages after taking a college course called "Poetry For The People". At a party one evening I did a spontaneous collaboration of one of my poems with a concert pianist named Michael Feinstein. The beauty of it put me on a quest to find a composer who would work together with me writing music for my words and my flow. Some six years later I met a most prolific composer and pianist, Wendy Loomis. COPUS is the result of our collaboration for over fifteen years now. COPUS is an acronym for 'Creation Of Peace Under Stars'. That's how we roll. Under the peace, love, harmony banner. I hope you'll take some of each with you on your journey and from this blog. Bless.

Mother

Mother of ideas mother of life
Mother of all beauty and strife
Mother of a time now long past
In whose light a shadow half cast

There lies a babe wrapped
Warmly in green the color of
No fear for whats unseen
For seen all things be when understood

Understanding must be to perceive
What we should for that which is
Above is as that which is below
Little else will you need to know

Then be on your way my child
Now go for the mother of your
Soul awaits you
Mother of Soul awaits
