How did I get here? It's kind of a funny story.
The song Rosyln reminded me of the spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Its magnificent forests carving through the vast geography of the United States. Though I could not make out the lyrics of the original song, the lilt of the instruments - the guitar and piano - filled me with the most spectacular sensation of peace. Peace after weeks of the most unbearable guilt; I felt as though I could genuinely breathe again.

Little Muses
What do you feel little one? With all that buzzing in your head- Drown it out. Tune it out. Find something solid, something tangible

Busy Bee
I usually can't remember when I've written poetry. Sometimes I don't even remember writing my poems at all. This one in particular, I remember clear as day.

Open books serenely scattered like stones across a marble floor. Faded spines, moth wings glide, Ancient tales broken free from destiny

The Narcissist of Necromancy
You pathetic excuse of a necromancer trying to resurrect the skeletons in my closet. Don’t you realize I’m the one who put them there in the first place!

Call me Benjamin
Call me Benjamin So that I may be the Son of the Right Hand and assume my place in His Kingdom; due East of that eternal throne.

That Mockingbird Won't Sing
When I was small I saw the world with stars in my eyes. Flower petals danced in the wind and sunsets kissed the earth beneath my feet.

Gaia Transitioning
Around me hung on every hand my organic threads thrive! a richly green. But a Huntsman’s chill lingers. Nipping winds, like feral hounds

Who do you think you are?
Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, Divine proclamations whispered through fire and written in Exodus 3:14 I am neither philosopher Nor betrothed to this scripture.

Ember's Glow
Dawn is yet beyond my reach And under cotton reams I lie Awake I dare not sleep. For my mind is hither and yon Tangled in reams of dreams.
