I'm the aberrational poet your English teacher warned you not to read or follow into the literary abyss. If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between fogyish metaphoric lines. I'll be armed with my quill and papyrus where at will I can wield my power as a writer to erase you from my realm. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unprintable things like a ghost in imaginary darkness.
In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed poetically. But, otherwise, I’m a simple free spirited poetic writer wordsmithing outside the grammatical lines and rules. An easy going romantic rebel at heart.
I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers.
Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer.
Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.

Are you channeling Nietzsche? After all, he was the one who said, “Hope is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torment of men.”
Suffering serves a purpose, though, I know not the final cost or the outcome for you. Yet, it is something to think on too!
I was forced…reading against my will! Which is why I’m aware of his philosophy. As I believe, without suffering there would be no compassion. It is a necessary evil.
Loss is so universal…so provoking and evoking at once. You write effortlessly, Poet. I sighed reading this because it validates me in so many ways too.
is one person's journey told through short stories and poems. "She smiled defiantly, knowing her skin looked even more enticing in the moonlight." Vesna

All of mankind suffers before death. Never read Nietzche outside of a few excerpts.

Or we normalize evil so as to include our own and free ourselves of guilt. I don’t think reading his works matters.
