Damn it. Look at this. Damn it all to hell, what next? Annoyed, Angered, Indignent, Riding on a wave of bitter words... You don't know, And most likely Don't Fucking Care... Sure, Ru...


All the words I had to say to you Went south for the winter, And it's only July, But they're gone away So what in the name of heaven Do I do? Here, I have these flowers. They're a litt...

I’m a spiritual person. I’m a religious (but not preachy) person. I’m not a normal person. I write everything; prose, poetry, and song lyrics (as well as music: I play guitar, though not well.) Even if you don’t like or understand poetry, you might like what’s here, so feel free to wander around. (That is, once I have something for you to wander around and read.)
