The snow has nearly melted

Winter is almost over

But I’m still as cold as ever

Spring isn’t promising me- anything

A new season of the same old problem

These rains do me no real favors

Nothing feels like it used to- once  

I still can’t believe I lost you

And my love never knew how to let go

What I know is what I want to forget

What I hope is what I’ve already had

The winds are still crisp

I can feel them bite my lips

Whenever I whisper… your name

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.

    I love the intro, it provokes me to keep reading. Lots of heartbreak in your writings. I enjoy the raw emotion behind the words ❤
