a child's eyes

  When looking into a child’s eyes there are many paths, there are dreams and failure, hope and tears, determination and fears, but deep in a child’s eye, deep down within the spirals of motivation they are reaching out for a hero – they are reaching out for leadership and for someone to recognize their […]

This is my declaration; a literary celebration of the shackles lifted from my pen freeing the expression of my ink into an explosive fireworks of creation. Because for so long I hesitated to share my voice, afraid to be heard but now my mind sings and rejoice the plight of all I hid inside; now […]

  No longer am i   hidden behind unmovable walls unseen, unheard, unwanted   I busted through the plaster and freed myself from my own silent disaster   and now I stand exposed   no longer am i   held back by the chains of distain undefined, unappreciated, unknown   I shattered the links of […]

A heart once mute – tears of silence that at a young age just wouldn’t compute the confusion and delusions hidden within a soul held hostage by fear – for many years, so many words unsaid I just couldn’t find the expressive freedom to let out the emotions rampaging as confused thoughts inside my head.

Everlasting memories – those familiar places we have known embrace our soul during times when we feel we are alone even when days are gray and the world turns cold we find our comfort in the places we call home.

I write for their eyes as I narrate the loneliness they feel from inside the of hidden identities that have become immersed within the transparent confusion of society’s delusion.

The trees are bare today as they reach out into an open temperature of stillness with branches that are waving to my eyes in a perfect salute; time is staring at me through a fragmented window just clear enough to see the energy of my mind. Thoughts clutter in a silent rewind as I sit […]

It is upon the thought of my demise that I wonder if the memory of me shall wake into tomorrow’s sunrise or will I fade into the distant echoes of what once was — barely to be recognized. All I hope is the flowers laid down upon my life will stay fresh and beautiful in […]
