Writing & reading didn't become a vested interest of mine until I excelled in college English courses where I was introduced to rich-contemporary non-fiction and fiction literature and where I found my writing voice.
Influenced by a variety of modern writers such as TC Boyle, Vladimir Nabokov, and Joyce Carol Oates I've gained an affinity for writing short stories, poetry, monologues, and screenplays. With much dedication to this craft I'm anticipating that fanfare will accompany my written work as the future dawns.
The stock market’s like a moody child, it disappoints to easily.
Commitment, it’s what the future will hold
Sprouting in eyes, love’s the story told
One life of two souls, it’s what it becomes
Rings speak for vows (how the sun succumbs -
This evening)
However far falling, moonlight fingers
Caress upon the allure of dreams
For they carry the oaths of truth
To forever sparkling streams
And for one to hold the essence
Of what’s innate like a soul
A purity so – so naturally,
Marvelously, fulfilled and whole
Wherever, and ever, rose petals fall
Shall be where fog descends
It’s this darkness that’s most real
To shun what’s black, is to amend
Faithful is the path of shedding tears
Emotion, frail as it comes, an unease
Questions, …
Juries decipher
If they’re a lifer
Verdicts are cyphers
System is broken
Public is hoping
Real laws be chosen
Lobbyist prevail
Politicians fail
Hiding money trails
And corruption taints
The parchment and paint
Where beliefs are laid
Minds are infested
Socially tested
See who’s invested
Willing to follow
And pill to swallow
Foot soldiers wallow
Enforcing the streets
Conventions for treats
Uniqueness depletes
We’re in a black hole
Missing life and soul
Only way to go
Mirrors shatter
So climb the ladder
To worlds not madder
Then the one that is
Yet we all exist
Within what’s the mist
The passage of time
When impatience shines
The feelings we find
Come from the heart and mind
Myth is dispelled
When lips kisses melt
And hands that are held
Is this how it is felt?
When beckon of eyes
Is grander than whys
Intuition lies
When emotion is high
What’s real may deceive
So what to believe
To follow or lead
Decision’s upto me
My life to expose
In question to pose
Should I stay shut closed
Like an un-blossomed rose?
Originally written in 2005
My dreams have shown
Shallow creek beds
Where death has roamed
My heart so savagely torn
My emotions so drastically worn
Rains of blood pour
As black rose thorns
Pierce my soul
Like devils horns
It is now that i’m born
Originally written in 2003
as i delve deeper in my sorrow
no life to live no desire to see tomorrow
i still wake to glow of sun rays
morning freshness but the barren wastes
still occupy the world i create
and the desolate life i try to dissipate
It passes by and I’m a faint presence
A lone melody in whispers of wind
Kindest eyes drift glance but cannot see
Shadows hide what’s truly me, essence
Originally written in 2002
As I look over the edge and down below
I say to myself that I love you so
As look over the edge my eyes transfixed
What lies below?
Originally written in 2003
You keep telling me
. . . There are other girls out there
I am not listening
. . . Because I do not care
It is you I want
. . . The girl of my dreams
The only girl I see
. . . Green eyes captivated me
originally written in 2003
I look at people
Some hand in hand
I look at people
None who I understand
All you’ve put me through
Though never meant
I still love you
I look at people
Some hand in hand
I look of people
None who I understand
How much you hurt me
I’ll keep hope
Once you’ll love me
Age’s relative. It’s silly to be bound by a number and one shouldn’t allow it to prohibit one from pursuing what one seeks.
When it comes to cinematography, one is only as good as the location allows one to be.
Love – that elusive emotion that takes a lifetime to find and an eternity to release.
Dreams aren’t to be chased for they will always be just out of reach. Ambitions, Aspirations, & Goals are the ones that need to be sought after.
