The Lacquer (Poetry)
Buried beneath the lacquerThe liquor stole your beautiful sightInside you suck on your inhalerSearching for some inner light What’s left within for rightIs there any purpose to fightYou’re fading even palerThe days are growing ever staler This is a stage of frightDarkened by eternal nightHate pervades the valleysAnd slips through the broken levees Watch the […]
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 […]

Perhaps it’s because by March 2002, my second semester of my freshman year in high school, I was writing poems rather consistently. “The Ship […]
Like the Fish and the Bird (Poetry)
“Like the Fish and the Bird” was written for an assignment during my Sophomore year of High School. But, it was good enough that I kept it for my poetry collection. The man works the hard, cold ground As the woman stares at the hard, cold stars Dimly lighting the vast field around There is […]
