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.

Five lines from “listen”:

God has tried to talk to me
still tries
probably
I don’t want to hear
I cover my ears
