Tortured Verses, I feel, is my best work. Spanning 1994 to 1995, this covers some of my darkest times. Some of my best writing was done during these "dark" moments. I wrote a lot as you can see from the dates. But not all of it is good. Some of it might be disturbing to some of you. And that is good. I want you to be disturbed. I want you to be touched by my writing, even if it gives you an icky feeling all over. You may read one or two and decide you don't want to read any more but I ask you to read them. Even if you are put off by some, there are some really, really good ones there. Especially towards the end. My skills improved but my over all style did not change. 98% of these rhyme. I like to rhyme. I think it takes more thought and talent to make it rhyme and flow smoothly. However, a few do not flow smoothly and I did it on purpose. Some of these have been published on the net. If I get around to it I will post the links. I will also be writing explanations to each and everyone of these, so hopefully you will understand that I am not a complete nut. I have rambled on enough, so please read as many as you want and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
