Poetry Series – Amber Heard, I heard
I don’t know who’s guilty and who’s innocent in this case and quite frankly, I don’t care. But I think there’s a chance, a lesson, to learn a little empathy and compassion tucked away somewhere here. Amber Heard, I heard Amber HeardI heardYou shit on a pillowCan I start by saying –disgusting!I heardYou shit onContinue reading “Poetry Series – Amber Heard, I heard”
Poetry Series – War on Sexuality
Some days I write to keep up the habit of writing. I never want to forget again how good it feels just to get things out. Other days, I write because if I don’t the words will explode from me as a shout. I’ve been fighting myself for a while now on the topic ofContinue reading “Poetry Series – War on Sexuality”

Poetry Series – Winter is Coming
I started getting signs before I knew that they were signs. Even now as I get them, if I try to figure out what they mean, I almost never do. I need to step back and look at the world around me, and the situations I’m in for what they are without the emotional attachmentContinue reading “Poetry Series – Winter is Coming”
Poetry Series – Hurt Hurts
This feels silly to admit but I don’t think anyone has ever apologized to me before. I mean yeah, people have told me they’re sorry after I point something out but I don’t think anyone has ever come to be me and said “Hey, look, I see that I did you wrong. I’m sorry. YouContinue reading “Poetry Series – Hurt Hurts”
