For many perhaps presumptuous but out of all my occupations, a Poet is what I identify myself with most. Moreover, why shouldn't one be straightforward with oneself and others.
Feelings are to be nurtured and cherished.
Too much is lost in everyday communication and interaction. In 1963, I was born a Gemini in Amsterdam, The Netherlands of Dutch descent. When I was 16 years old, and had outgrown the obligation of school literature, I became aware of my true love for the English language. I started to read a number of Poets and Lyricists and began to write my own Poetry. When I was 28 years old writing Poetry had become a true passion.
