To sleep at peace while the world is dark to put yourself at rest,I hope your sleep is filled with peace and helps remove your stress,From the day to day struggles I hope you get a quiet brief reprieve,And wake up to a wonderful day with joys you can’t believe.

I write a lot and I hope that this will be a good place to receive feedback and advice from others.
Intertwined
Rain lightly taps off our window on this quiet, lazy day, As we look into each other eyes there's nothing left to say, We've got nowhere to go and nothing to do, Everything that happens is up to me and to you, As you gently trace my tattoo with your fingertip, You look up at … Continue reading Intertwined
The Room
Trapped in this room or is it just in my head,It’s filled with doubts, fear, and dread,The shadows form and creep over me,They remove the light so I cannot see,Trapped in the dark so I try to hide,From the emptiness that dwells inside,I try to scream and I try to yell,But my voice is muted … Continue reading The Room
The Huntress
Set your traps and lay your snares,By letting them think you really care,You’ve watched from a distance planning your move,And luring them in ever so smooth,In reality it’s just part of the game,There are countless others who have fallen the same,From your seductive smile to your poison sweet lips,To your calculating eyes and the sway … Continue reading The Huntress
Detritus
Give me something to numb myself, I need my feelings covered by stealth, So my mind and soul may drift away, To quiet my thoughts and all they say, Because I'm screaming in silence as my perceptions fade, As I hide from the light in the billowing shade, Of self-doubt and past regret, And all … Continue reading Detritus
Longing
I have that feeling that something’s missing,Something absent that keeps me wishing,I think Ive found the cause this distress,It’s an issue I hope we will soon address,I just want simple things nothing very much,I want to walk holding your hand to finally feel your touch,To Experience the warmth of your hug,And inhale the scent of … Continue reading Longing
The Secret
Something beautiful blossomed between the two,But it was kept secret from the few,The one wanted the whole world to know,The other was afraid to ever let it show,Things still grew and started to root,But it mattered not and then grew moot,When it mattered the most the one was told,The other wanted both the secret to … Continue reading The Secret
Alone
Whenever you needed me I was always there,You knew that I would because I cared,Through all your troubles, heartache and fears,You came to me to wipe away your tears,You came to me and we became a lot more,To confide in each other we had an open door,You said you felt the three words that carry … Continue reading Alone
Op-Ed: The Underlying Plague
There’s been a plague that has been active in our country for as long as I’ve been alive and most likely before I was ever born. Almost everyone has it or has suffered from it at one point in their lives. It affects every race, gender, sexual orientation, and age group. It doesn’t matter if … Continue reading Op-Ed: The Underlying Plague
5 Grams and Darkness
In the universe expanse,Sitting in solitary circumstance,Colors flash into my mind,Forgetting what I left behind,Free of fear I’m free of pain,Reality becomes a lovely stain,Of all the things I seem to be,That never were truly me,Devoid of hate and full of love,As I look down from above,Edges blur as the stars fade out,I destroyed my … Continue reading 5 Grams and Darkness
