Excerpts

OTHER THAN LOVE

OTHER THAN LOVE

OTHER THAN LOVE

"This pen leans towards love and doesn't stray. The opposite is obsolete..."

AUTUMN

OTHER THAN LOVE

OTHER THAN LOVE

"...and as we fall 

into crisp mornings

the dew whispers

to our adolescence 

rushing to and from

love in the morning."

CAST OVER

OTHER THAN LOVE

CAST OVER

"I'm unsure as to why the clouds and rain calm me. I can swim in the dark hues of blue and ashy grays and never drown..."

Excerpts

THE CHILL

WINTER BOOTS

WINTER BOOTS

"What if I held you close and brushed the hair from your face and told you respect will always be present?"

WINTER BOOTS

WINTER BOOTS

WINTER BOOTS

"...these hands will make the fires that keep us warm, catch the fish that we eat, fight to protect our honor, fix the leaks in the ceiling, give mother peace of mind and hold the children up to the sun."

PEACHES

WINTER BOOTS

PEACHES

"A letter. An apology that I struggle to write because words won't do my sorrow any justice."

"but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that sketch you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear"


1 Peter 3:15
