Why I Write

To soothe the soul
To vent
A release
An escape
To share my words
To create stories
Learning myself
And the characters I build
I write because
Its who I am
A writer
A worldbuilder
A character creator
An author

Unwanted Passenger

Stomping 
   Stomping 
       Stomping 
Stop,
Please 
No control, 
Vehicle lurches 
But I’m just a
Passenger on this
Road of life

Dirty Reflection

I laugh because 
Every hateful 
Word spewed 
From your 
Dirty mouth 
Is a reflection 
Of yourself!

Don't Wait On Me

Take a seat
Any seat
Twiddle your thumbs
And
Don’t wait on me
My life
Is full,
Not revolving around you
Are you surprised?
Shouldn’t be, because
I live my life
Not waiting 
On you

Wrapped In Red

I present myself to you,
And only you
Dressed in red
From head to toe
Adorned with a 
Cream-colored ribbon
Waiting to be unwrapped
During the holiday, but
You revealed my mind
Thoughts of despair and hate
Instead of soft curves
Under the red lace
And for that, 
You ran from the dark person
A person I don’t claim to be
But can’t hide from
No matter how hard I tried
Splatters of blood
Behind my eyes
Freeing myself from 
The disgust on your face
Hanging by a thread of 
Ribbon which once 
Beckoned to be slid open
As a gift to you

Simply Christmas

we gather around
sipping cocoa, watching kids
smile holding their gifts


Used fingers to count.

Contentment

Back resting
On the
Solid oak
Stroking my fingers
Through your
Silky strands 
We sit 
In contentment
Basking in the
Pleasure 
Of us

The Hard Part

Sitting here
Typing away
I’m brought back
To the days,
Ones long ago
When I brought you
Into this world,
Nineteen hours 
Of labor,
Emergency surgery,
Exhaustion beyond
Anything I’ve
Ever experienced
Though…
It all disappeared
The moment
I held you 
Striking blue eyes,
A gorgeous smile
Showing a set
Of dimples, which
Lit up 
Your face, and
Made my day
Those same feelings
Took hold, 
The second 
I realized
You’ve changed 
Drastically, from
My young boy, to
A young man
An adult, 
Ready to 
Spread his wings
And take flight,
Soaring into 
The world,
Eighteen years of
Love, laughter, and
Guidance 
Has proven
Your determination,
And inquisitive nature
Will assist you
In life,
This world 
Is challenging,
But, deep inside, I know
You’ll prevail
Letting you go
Is possibly one
Of the hardest things
I ever had to do, but
Just know,
No matter what
Obstacles you face
I’m here, 
Putting pen to page,
Rooting for you, and
For your future
My son,
Understand, 
You and your sister,
Hold a special place,
In my heart,
Fills me to the core,
Brightens my day, and 
Never goes away
Because 
I LOVE YOU

Secrets

hidden
and kept 
from others
like skeletons 
inside of 
a closet
a conundrum 
tears down 
relationships
burden on minds
emotional pain
stress and anxiety 
physical consequences
trust 
and honestly
relieves you of 
the deepest, darkest of
SECRETS

A Diamond

He dreams 
Of eyes, and 
Hair of blonde
	Special
A diamond
A twilight
In the night
