Poet Introduction
I have been writing poetry since middle school and it has stuck with me since then. I tend to write about real life situations and everything in between.

Caught Up In Love
i
Our love is quiet as it is
fully submerged under
Water. I know that in
my heart I love you.
ii
I want to shout it
from the rooftops
as my lungs are full
With everything you
Are, love and light.
iii
I hear every breath and
heartbeat so I will never
forget the sound. We are
right here in this moment.

For the Better Good
Some people just lack common sense
As they want to cross over the fence,
But never take the time to know why
It is there. They see the burning sky,
But never know why it is constantly
Burning. They cause chaos and bodily
Harm but never understand the pain
It causes. They complain about the rain
But never understand why people stand
In line for change. They never fanned
The flames and they shift the blame
Onto someone else when they take aim
At people who serve to be our voice for
The...

Down Different Roads
We will pass the night sky like shooting
Stars as I wish we could be together in
Our next life. I always find myself rooting
For your happiness because living in sin
And sadness is never what I wanted for
You. I never wanted to see you suffer or
Beg for something you were never meant
To lose. Love. Happiness and life passing
By in slow motion. We should have spent
This time loving each other and grasping
Hands before it was all gone in a whisper
Of smoke. Clouds part and what became
Crystal clear was that you were the kisser
Of...

Letting Go of 2020
Do not let yesterday’s sorrows
Hold you back because there
Are always brighter tomorrows.
There is bigger hope in the air.
Let last year’s worries fade and
Go away as the wind in your hair
Blows what you have in your hand
And heart to where you will stand.
Hold you back because there
Are always brighter tomorrows.
There is bigger hope in the air.
Let last year’s worries fade and
Go away as the wind in your hair
Blows what you have in your hand
And heart to where you will stand.

She Is True Beauty
I see her standing there like a true vision.
How I wish I could meet her right at the
Water’s edge so captivated by her beauty
And true perfection. In some other world
She would be mine, but in this world she
Is fawned over by many others like some
Boyhood or girlhood fantasy. When she
Laughs like a musical melody others stop
To listen. With her smile she can light up
A dark room and with her eyes she can set
Fires. She walks in beauty like the silence
In the wind chimes, but no one knows her
True beauty on...

Open Arms
I was hurt and damaged from the darkness
Of my past, but somehow with your open
Arms I was beginning to enjoy the starkness
And quietness in every moment. My broken
And shattered pieces were finally starting to
Heal as the sky went from pitch black to blue.

Healing Heart
My heart bleeds as you and everyone
Else just walks away, but I have to be
My own ray of hope as the wound is
Healing on its own. I can be my sun
Amongst the clouds. I can just see
The new moon as tears stop fizzing.
Else just walks away, but I have to be
My own ray of hope as the wound is
Healing on its own. I can be my sun

Demi is a Warrior
You say you are a warrior and got thicker skin
While some say you may be done and finished
Forever, but then you have risen from the ashes,
Reappearing from the smoke like a skyscraper.
After so many burns, car collisions and crashes
You show strength. You are far from being paper
Or razor thin when you show that a strong storm
Can never knock you down. Let us all normalize
Bruises and scars because they tell us a story not
Because they show your weaknesses. You keep
Using your voice to speak up as you always fought ...

Your Love As My Weakness
I cannot keep staying where I do not feel
Welcomed or wanted. I craved you to love
Me like I know I deserved and I prayed for
My entire life, but even that always gave
My life negative energy. You would steal
My heart every single time. Like a dove
I should have kept flying away. You swore
To not lead our love straight to the grave,
But yet you did time and time again. I still
Forgave you, but it was becoming a toxic
Cycle I could not leave until my heart was
Done. I could not let my life come to a skid
As I was...

But yet you did time and time again. I still

Real Love
Love permeates the air because I cannot
Get enough of you, but it is not the lust
I feel in my bones and veins. It is the real
Deal as I used to always get so caught
Up in the past, but not anymore as I trust
You and all the love that is strong. I feel
You even when you are not sleeping here
Next to me or walking besides me in this
Journey of life. I asked a million times if
You loved me and you said, “Never fear
My love as it is sturdier than the abyss
We get easily lost in. Let go of the cliff’s
Edge as it will never...

Game of Chess
Make your moves in silence as one does
In a game of chess. Watch out as pawns
Become castles, knights, bishops, queens
And kings. Do not second guess because
In those moments of weakness the swans
Take advantage. Mirrors or smoke screens
Will advert you from the truth as you keep
Your guard up with your knifes sharpened
And ready. Calculate your moves so your
Enemies do not see you slipping or asleep.
To them you are like a decaying carcass,
But little do they know you won the war
And the game they came to play. My...

Happy Memories With You
Our paths merged and became one.
I thought this would be what I always
Wanted, love and something that lasts
Forever. We are always chasing the sun
As long as we have each other. Our gaze
On the horizon and sky, our murky pasts
Forgotten. Baby, it was just you, me and
The happy memories we hold in our hands.
