Short Borough Poems

A selfless desire
A heart full of fire
A need for reflection
A life of seduction
In a little while
It all swept away. 

The lonely borough 
Full of Laughter and the sorrow
All the little lies
Relationships and ties
In a little while 
It all swept away

Just me and You
Days gay and blue
Few drops of rain
Start of love again
In a little while 
It all swept away

Peter the coward turned faulty Prince of the Apostles - and his rival-friend  Paul.


What does it matter? Their purpose: to shock the world to save it - then as now....

Baldwin is a pretty little hamlet to see.
It’s on Long Island in Nassau County.

Just travel a little east from the borough of Queens.
You can drive, ride the train, or use any other means.
Having more than three hundred years of history,
it certainly is a fascinating community.
Baldwin has had a past, and a future that‘s bright.
Come see this little wonder any day or night....
