Poet Introduction
A poet, photographer, teenager, and life-liver, my sole goal is to reveal but a glimpse of love, loss, and the beautiful, ubiquitous life in between.

The Pretty Girls in the Magazine
Mama always said I had the most beautiful body God had ever graced the Earth with. She would take me to ballet lessons and sing me lullabies to keep my mind at rest while my body healed from the treatments. She would always take me to a special place where they could make my body even better.
“You’re gonna be a star, honey,” she would say, as she plucked out the hair from my skin.
“You’re gonna be the dream of ev’ry girl who gets the honor to hear your name,” she would sing aloud in her melodic voice.

This Feels So right
It's when you blush, my heart explodes
Maybe because, the things I know
Like how I love to hear your laugh
Or how I want to make this last.
Maybe it's how you look at me
Or how you sound when you're sleepy
Could be our laughs laying in bed
Or just the way your nose turns red.
I missed your voice and sharing songs
And looking at the calm blue dawn
Or it might be - I'm glad to say -
How this feels right in every way.
Maybe because, the things I know
Like how I love to hear your laugh
Or how I want to make this last.
Maybe it's how you look at me
Or how you sound when you're sleepy
Could be our laughs laying in bed
Or just the way your nose turns red.
I missed your voice and sharing songs
And looking at the calm blue dawn
Or it might be - I'm glad to say -
How this feels right in every way.

7th Grade Love
Something between us two
Something beyond this time
Something will stay the same
Something from me to you
And I will think of us:
Something I will call love.
Something beyond this time
Something will stay the same
Something from me to you
And I will think of us:
Something I will call love.

Madame Silence
Madame Silence loves to speak to me,
As she sings to me every thought to think
And every tune to hear before I have time to blink.
It is then that I think these thoughts Madame Silence loves to see.
I miss you, y'know, as I listen to
Your heart beats beating sounds so new,
And then I hear the sound of you,
Madame Silence beside me.
It is you and me and Silence between
Us two. Nothing but infinite space
And infinite noises in this silent place.
Tell me, with the Madame so near, what her words mean.
I miss...
As she sings to me every thought to think
And every tune to hear before I have time to blink.
It is then that I think these thoughts Madame Silence loves to see.
I miss you, y'know, as I listen to
Your heart beats beating sounds so new,
And then I hear the sound of you,
Madame Silence beside me.
It is you and me and Silence between
Us two. Nothing but infinite space
And infinite noises in this silent place.
Tell me, with the Madame so near, what her words mean.
I miss...

Passion Still
Kissing you
Staring back
Feeling safe
Breathing fast
Sun hot touch
Angel's skin
Sugar sweet
Free of sin
Young love is
Passion still
Staring back
Feeling safe
Breathing fast
Sun hot touch
Angel's skin
Sugar sweet
Free of sin
Young love is

Mid-Summer Morning
I am writing these words in an empty notebook
On a warm, humid, mid-summer morning,
Masked by the speckled shade of my tree's canopy.
My dog stands beside me
His paws among the crisp grass
Covered by dew and red fallen petals.
From across the lake in front of me,
there are birds sending eloquent songs
On a journey across the placid waters;
Above me is a juvenile blue-jay,
Still without its royal blue crest,
which has made this its home.
This beautiful scene I am immersed in,
Gorgeous like a...

Masked by the speckled shade of my tree's canopy.
My dog stands beside me
His paws among the crisp grass
Covered by dew and red fallen petals.
From across the lake in front of me,
there are birds sending eloquent songs
On a journey across the placid waters;
Above me is a juvenile blue-jay,
Still without its royal blue crest,
which has made this its home.

Wake Up Dead
When I wake up dead
And the sun does shine
With lights of black
And songs of night,
Will you stay right here
As the sun does shine
And I rub my eyes
To a dreamt of life?
When I wake up dead,
I will beg and plead!
Just one small thing:
More time to sleep...
And the sun does shine
With lights of black
And songs of night,
Will you stay right here
As the sun does shine
And I rub my eyes
To a dreamt of life?
When I wake up dead,
I will beg and plead!
Just one small thing:
More time to sleep...

Who to Love
I don’t know who I’m supposed
to fall in love with tonight.
I hope she talks to me for hours
And says it’ll be okay,
And when morning comes,
She’ll smile just the same.
I hope she likes to cuddle
And play games all day long
And that she’ll remember
The lyrics to our special song
And most of all,
I must admit:
I hope she looks a lot like you,
‘Cause then it will all come true.
to fall in love with tonight.
I hope she talks to me for hours
And says it’ll be okay,
And when morning comes,
She’ll smile just the same.
I hope she likes to cuddle
And play games all day long
And that she’ll remember
The lyrics to our special song
And most of all,
I must admit:
I hope she looks a lot like you,
‘Cause then it will all come true.

i fell in love in Seattle
i fell in love in Seattle
thousands of miles away
i fell in love with your smile
the way you'd laugh perfectly
i fell in love with my best friend
and i don't regret a thing
i fell in love with tests you'd send
and i won't forget a thing
i fell in love in Seattle
cuddling in the back of the car
i fell in love with your kisses
said I'd love you so close or far
I fell in love in Seattle
my love's still there with You.
thousands of miles away

Dear Best Friend
Dear Best Friend, I love the way your eyes
Created those soft pink skies you painted,
And how they glowed when you sang lullabies,
And when those eyes met mine I near fainted
Dear Best Friend, I wish I could be him.
I wish I could help heal your wounded past
And hold you tight and kiss your lips, not him,
And if I could I’d make those moments last.
Dear Best Friend, I’ve seen you cry before,
And as I wipe away the tears I made,
I hate the fact I need something much more,
But to ignore these thoughts would be...
Created those soft pink skies you painted,
And how they glowed when you sang lullabies,
And when those eyes met mine I near fainted
Dear Best Friend, I wish I could be him.
I wish I could help heal your wounded past
And hold you tight and kiss your lips, not him,
And if I could I’d make those moments last.
Dear Best Friend, I’ve seen you cry before,

I hate the fact I need something much more,
