Dawn & Dusk Intro
I write poems of light and dark. From the darkness of my experience of depression to the light of my faith and hope in Jesus Christ. On some days, my poems feel like a brightening dawn.

Thief
There is a thief Who is raiding my mind Stealing my thoughts My ideas, my time Locking my knowledge away Ripping it from my reach Hacking into my files Feeding on them like a leech When I try to transmit Expressions of emotions The signal is jammed My throat becomes frozen It can even block Continue reading

When I Write
The mysteries of my mind Slowly unwind As I take the time To write My emotions glide Flow like the tide As they are finally untied As I write I can finally rectify The chaos inside So the pain can subside As I write I didn’t know that I Could feel so free inside Because Continue reading

Apocalypse
I have seen the apocalypse I have seen the end I have seen the disaster That is just around the bend I have felt the fire I have smelt the smoke I’ve witnessed the bubbling lava As the desolation is stoked I have seen the darkness The void when nothing remains I’ve felt the chill Continue reading
