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.

need

I stand

in front

of you

what

I want

gripped in

my hands

nothing

I need

but you

in front

of me

you wait

you want

my hands
