This blog features portions of my not yet published poems.

why write?

I have to write what I hear in my head, what I dream in my sleep, what my bones ache to express.

My poems tell stories of strength, love, regret, disobedience, loss, hope, redemption, and whatever whispers.

Lucifer says



a glimpse of “Lucifer says”

resurrection binds my hands
my wrists burn with dawn
prophesy chafes my bones

I’m a bird’s cry
I harmonize piano melody
I come from an open door where David sings his blues
he pours out his soul
it sparkles like scotch in a tumbler

every and each changed tide
blows my flame
tickles my heart
I recognize the gritty love of
Bethlehem
here, breathe my sulfur
