Can I Really? (Poetry)
Can I speak through a word And really tell you how I feel Can I tell you I love you And really tell you what I feel Can I give you the treasure of treasures And really tell you what you’re worth Can I hold you forever and ever And really get what I really […]
Scriptures (Poetry)
Lost in the sands of forgotten times Lies a treasure from a distant past Fellows, we must recapture this trinket Of lost passions and intellect From long buried centuries passed We still have so little to teach And infinitely too much to learn O Fortune’s wheel! It has turned! The princely one’s reign has ended […]

Resurgence (Poetry)
“Resurgence” was one of the first poems that I wrote in high school that I felt was truly deserving of being published. In fact, it happened to win an award from poetry dot com, for what it’s worth. That’s pretty neat success for a poem written that long ago. It’s slightly tweaked but close enough […]
The Warrior Princess Creed (Poetry)
Starlight, starbright Under midnight stars I prowl the night Hunting evil Wherever it lies Catch wrongdoers By full surprise Lurking, stalking A judge for right Hunting, creeping In the shadows I seek to fight From highs and lows The vile by moonlight Both judge and jury I have become Know my fury My wrath’s begun […]
In Death Do We Part (Poetry)
If they’re to call our love a sin Then how can any one of us win? If our union is doomed to fail Let’s throw love to the wind and sail In death do we part just the same As angry mobs have us now do Life’s oft a bitter lonely game Unless one and […]
