VHS tapes. Timestamps.
Old footage. New smiles.
Old cars. More miles.
New styles. Old fashion.
New years. Old days.
Old views. New plays.
The VHS player
is a time machine,
and the tapes help
me escape. Years ago,
I wanted to grow
– get old. I was young.
Now, I got what
I wanted. I am older.
I put in an old tape.
I rewind it. I remind
myself of who I was
as I press play and
get lost in an old day.
My bookcase has books about stories –
stories about things – things people wrote.
Each book contains different moments
in time that defines a person’s mind.
Each page is a look into what has taken
place. My bookcase is full of life. I need
these stories to read to be set free.
Please enjoy all 4 of my chapbooks in 1. The Dream Collection is comprised of 4 sections:
In Between Dreams
The Doomsday Dreamer
Nightmares, Dreams, and Other Things
Drives to Dreamtown
Without further ado:

How can I ever express
How much I appreciate
You and all that you do.
There’s no way to say
How much you impact
My day. Never go away.
I say thanks. Thank you
For being yourself.
I just wish you knew
How much you’ve helped.
I’m forever thankful
For your soul and spirit.
I forever say thanks,
Hoping you hear it.
