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.

in the shower


It’s our wedding anniversary, so, I’ll share five lines from the first stanza of “in the shower”:


I see you
through my frosted shower door
you watch me

massage shampoo
condition my hair
