Hey Everyone

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but I wanted to check in, let people know I’m still writing and give an update on a few things that have been happening for me recently. As I mentioned in my last blog post, I’ve been taking a poetry class at Vancouver Island University. It’s been pretty … More Hey Everyone

Embracing Change

January 5, 2016

Day One of my poetry class was a success! I met so many wonderful students with similar interests and the same passion as me, many of which I can already tell are amazing writers. I am beyond excited to read their work and to have them read mine. Extra bonus: my teacher is extremely cool, … More Embracing Change

What’s Coming

December 28, 2015

There was a full moon out last night But there they were, dancing under strobe lights And we wonder where the wild things went I’d take a dollar for every hour that’s spent Searching the internet for answers in vein While we should all be out there shouldering some blame Cause’ how many times have … More What’s Coming

October 30, 2015

The way I await so willingly, yearning; hungry for your closure; the need to feel your needing me in all the old forbidden ways.

Time brought us here To the morning of your first steps To the places where the change happened To your arms around his neck Time brought us here Through every phase we’ve ever known It brought the morning to your coffee Winter to first snow But you – you brought the fire You brought the … More In the Wake

Wonderland

October 17, 2015

Born beautiful On a moonlit night Reflecting off raindrops Pretty silver lights Crawling over petals Slipping without sound Beneath the shelter of a lily flower A creature has only just unwound Delicate are her wings Fluttering in a warm breeze She recognizes this place  A sanctuary under evergreens Spellbound though she is She has yet to … More Wonderland

The Stain

October 15, 2015

Coveted Watched closely by The Stain See dirty hands on Dirty money Dirty blood down dirty drains No subject to blindness We feel it circling the shower floor In a room made for victims Where there is little room for whores They took the youngest We hear her crying down the hall But that’s impossible since it’s … More The Stain
