as someone over twenty-five and under forty, i have lived life, though, equally, there is much i missed.

my experiences and attempt to reclaim narrative brought me to this place where i share words—from my world— in a few stanzas to illustrate the composition of my life thus far.

i grew up learning music by ear, so these poems, and their cadence, come to life first through sonic memorization. there are many, but here are a few.

i am filled with emotion and feeling that are best conveyed in only as few words as possible. precisely, this is what this is.

these poems should be treated lightly. notes of sarcasm through the rhythm of love. however dark it may seem, these words and the sentiments they elicit are only a reflection of the reader.

if it is darkness you detect, it is your inner turmoil with which you must contend, not i. plainly, these poems are a summarization of my most intimate experiences.

love & madness,
