I'm a poet. I'm published in various forms of media and currently working on my first novel.

This blog will display my work as it is written, before being submitted for publication, as well as expressing my thoughts and feelings on the dull.

I COULD PROBABLY GO ON LIKE THIS FOREVER

Who let the flatterer into the gallery,
whip bent and tearing paintings from the new ceiling,
cast iron shackles arresting the dead bed maid
as the salary of feelings is considered -

the bed’s lungs won’t last tonight by the filth and bride;
poor poet at the pinnacle of passion; fail
the dragging of the lake, which hides under fat thighs
and cringes at the creaks of epileptic springs.
