There are much better writers than I Who have written of love, God and philosophy Not much that I can add But my unique life experiences I will stick to what I know and feel In hopes my written word can reach places that I have not Relying more on natural simplicity than technique and form Check out my work at: www.amazon.com/Laura-Alaniz
I've been in a serious relationship for 11yrs now, with my Sweetie-pie. We met @ a club in Lafayette, LA, called Jules. A local gay bar, that was in the heart of downtown, but alas it shut down shortly after we met. I always think of Fate having a hand in our meeting, because I had sent my longing for a love to love into the universe & wasn't looking to fall in love when we met. Also I had just driven 8+ hrs from West Texas after visiting relatives & didn't plan on going out. But for some reason I felt the urge to get my dance on & wallah! The rest is history. I get asked quite often about my nationality, but it comes out wrong like ppl asking "what are you" for which I reply "human & you?" So for those of you curious of my nationality/ethnicity I'm Panamanian, Mexican, African-American & Blackfoot Native American. My mom claims she's got Apache blood as well, but it's just her belief (yet to be confirmed). My grandparents on my mom's side are Swedish & Norwegian, so yeah, my family looks like the League of Nations if you were to see us all gathered at a family reunion. A fitting rainbow of nationalities. UPDATE! It's been years since I've updated my profile. fast forward 7yrs later and I currently am selling crystals on Etsy @skyygems. Im now living in Houston, TX, still with my love whom I met at that club all those yrs ago. We have a miniature poodle named Ford (my sweetie's doing, I wasn't feeling that name) and we are now enjoying downtown living.
I love to write. It's as simple a fact as that. In third grade I checked out a large book of poetry and wasn't able to go back from there. Writing poetry became the outlet of the heartache of a young girl as boys broke her fragile heart. Then my "brocuz" killed himself and all those words that I had written previously felt empty. I had changed, and so my poetry changed. Writing is an expression of myself. Whether imagined or real every poem I write, every story, every word, is filled with who I am, and how I got to be who I am. Enjoy :)
We are asleep. Our life is a dream. But we wake up, sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming." — Ludwig Wittgenstein I've spent a lot of time researching religions, history, diffrent points of view, exploring conciousness and life, tring to find the truth for why the world is as bad as it is. This westernized society we live in has corrupted many people and has them living a lie. I know because I was living in it for a long time until i started to see the full spectrum of things. I see a lot of people running from what's inside of them and I see a lot of people caught up in the "matrix". With a lot of my poems I try to help bring people closer to the truth and achieve overall happiness in their lives. I dont expect for many to understand, but I'm here to help the best I can. Helping my brothers and sisters is what I love to do. Because shit, I am you. Liberating minds a rhyme at a time.
I am a starving Artist.....waiting for my big Break!!! I am a person of wisdom, who has been through different obstacles in my life to become who I am. I am hard working and honest. I have only a few close people in my life to keep me sane. Through my continuous journey, I have learned that I can control only my own destiny.In time I would love to motive others to live life to their fullest potential. For if we all commit to ourselves, we can help make the world a better place. I have come a long way from the clumsy, awkward, misunderstood, young child, and teen. I have grown into who I want to be. And will make every effort to forgive myself, and others. By doing this I will be able to complete self. And that's my mission in life.
Born in Srilanka, I migrated to Canada in 1999. I was a teacher and Lecturer in Srilanka, where I taught both in secondary schools, teachers' colleges and some part-time work at the university of Jaffna. I have also about eight years of teaching experience in Nigeria. I also taught in Canada-both as a supply teacher and an ESL teacher for newcomers to Canada. My teaching subjects were Geography, English, Western History and Principles of Education. I had interest in writing poetry right from my school days, though I am not an expert at it. I am always trying to improve and joining the poet's sanctuary is an outcome of that intention.

I am an up and coming poet. I write poetry as an escapism from the reality of life. In voice as a character. I envision and enhance the thought process of the conscience. The inner monologue. Freedom of thought . Freedom to be... unique and different. Little girls with dreams, become women with vision. Everyone understand's the need for change in the abstract, however as humans we are creatures of habit. Break the box built by society and be YOU !
I am just and ordinary married man with 3 children, living in a small Boland town called Wolseley in the Western Cape South Africa. Second eldest of three brothers and one sister.. my parents still alive, all of my family except my sister are currently residents of Wolseley. A small village full of character ,loving people a close knit community with its usual moral problems. Poetry for me is the inside living outwards...my thoughts,ideals,memories and prayers,my hope for humanity. I can live in it, respond to it and surely hope others who read it can find something of worth,something they can relate to... My believe is that everything that transpires is the will of God..no matter what the outcome might be...He would not lead you to it if He can't take you through it.
