To live in a glass house On a hill above the din, Is to share your life And let anyone walk in. Who has the courage To expose their life each day? Who is so perfect and pure, To live in such a way? We have curtains That go up and down. When down, no one sees in, But raise them and some can peer in. Privacy is what we want. Some things must be done Without an audience; Our life is not an open book.

I have probably lived the "Open Book" far more than many people, George. There came a time in my life I needed to open up about where I had been, what I had done, and so I did through poetry and my memoir.. . Sure I put it all out there from my earliest memory to this day. Do I still have secrets, you bet your ass I do! Not many, if any, people can come 100% in the honesty department, but I have come very close.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
