During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions. At first, I started with a fantasy book that I'd been toying with for years and found that one of the characters should be a bit of a poet. Suffice it to say I am no poet. But it became an outlet I threw myself into.... (edited) read more

Love and War

No tranquil nights In this war For love and disarray I knew at once That there would be A price I had to pay I saw you on the battlefield Sword drawn And guns ablaze Piercing eyes Gazed into mine Solemn and enraged But we still don’t see Eye to eye Only lip to lip And I strongly believe We... read more

A game or Not?

🌹 Can I trust your plan for us? Whispers of promises, fragile as dust, How do I know this plan is real, Not just a fleeting thought you conceal? How do you know it’s more than a dream? A script that fades like a shallow stream. Three months pass, six more unfold, A year, and still, the story... read more

Whispers of a Divide

No word is spoken, yet I know the quiet truth that we both sow— a longing caught between the veil, where love can’t die but cannot sail. Our roots run deep in soil unknown, though both seek light, though both have grown. We share the air, the stars, the dawn, but still the thread... read more

“Desires as one” a short poem by me

Slowly on the rising, your mouth is full of words. Yet this heart is open, empty and waiting for your words. You take my peak of destruction and turn it into a masterpiece only you can desire. Only knowing your worth and time, makes me know the strongest we can become as one.
