You are my kindred spirits, who linger here to hear my words. You are my blessings, you who stop to share your thoughts. You are my dearest joy, you who share your lives an linger longer. You are my beloved friends, you who stay and grow in the garden of my heart.
Welcome to my little corner of the universe.
If there is a specific piece of yours you would like me to review, please say so! Send me an e-mail review request and I will get on it right away. I'll do my best to try to repay all of your reviews, and to you faithful reviewers and old friends. But no promises, as I am a flighty and forgetful thing. Or am I? Reviews are nice, but friends and friendly passersby are much more pleasent I have found! Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to read this.
I am growing and changing again. Much has come to pass in my mind and in my heart. But part of my heart shall always have room for you, my fellow artists, poets, writers, song-writers, all of you. I ask that you treat me with respect and I shall endeavour to do the same for you. I am a lover of thought, of challenging oneself to grow and learn and reach one's potential. I hope to always strive to improve my work. Please feel free to look at my poetry as a kind of flip-book of my soul. If you linger here and listen perhaps you can learn something. I would certainly hope so! Above all things I would like to remind you, my old supporters and fans, that you are always in my heart and I can never thank you enough. God bless you all.
I am 21 years old. I am a Christian. I am a poet, I am an artist, I am a philosopher, I am an imperfect work in progress.

Feel free to read a lot of my work and let me know what you think. There's a lot of it but don't let that intimidate you.Most of it is above average, but I'll admit not all of it is really good. That's something I'm working on. Most of the poems are worth checking out, and hopefully you will enjoy reading them. Feel free to let others know about me, I'm looking for maximum exposure here, ideas, comments, feedback, the works. I would deeply appreciate reviews from you, the reader.

Also, if you want me to write you a poem about something, I would love to give it a shot, just send me an e-mail about what you would like the poem to be about and some ideas you have for it and I'll see what I can do. I love writing poems for people, and from what I hear I am pretty good at it. If you do request that I write I poem for you, I might need to know a little about where you are coming from so that I can personalize the poem, so that you will get more out of it. I not yet written a poem for someone and have them not like it. So far, everyone who has asked me to write a poem for them has been at the very least pleased. Poems I have written for others are: "I Lost Myself Following You," "Memories," "Twisted," "Unser Geliebtes Familien," and "Distant Fellowship." Still have yet to have someone displeased with my work. I'm not bragging, just saying it seems this is something I seem to be able to do well.

I try to review the way I would like others to. A lot of my reviews are thanks to freethephoenix, Karasu no sei, HiddenFlame42, RellaRock, Deirdra Chaeli, Matteo,Brooke ORiley,and Echo Despise. I would like to, again, thank EVERYONE who reviews.

It can give inspiration to authors as well. And a special thanks to Liebchen Rose.
Fictionpress Goals:
-Never stop trying to improve myself as a person and as a poet
-Be honest about my mistakes and failings
-Become a nationally recognized poet
Get on the favorites list of +100 people XD
-Get at least 15 reviews on all of my decent poems
Touch peoples lives in positive and meaningful ways
That's right! I made it! more than 100 people have me on their favorites! While I rejoice in this, I take a deeper sense of gratitude in knowing that each of these people means something to me and that, hopefully, I mean something to them. It is with honor and respect that I accept your support and hope to be more worthy of it in the future. Thank you all for helping me reach this goal and for helping me better myself as a poet, an artist, and as a human being.
If you are trying to decide which of my work to look at, try deciding based off of genre, don't get overwhelmed just gravitate towards a subject that you enjoy or are curious about. Example: if you like music, try reading "Midnight Melodies" or "Language of the Soul."
-PantheraPardus, Christine Redman-Waldeyer, dawningfear, JTM Aegis, bach-player, and Ryan Patrick Bailey are some of this site's best poets that I have had the honor of running across thus far. Diviner has some interesting insights. Freethephoenix has some awesome stories
-It's almost always worth checking out someone's work, because often they have some really creative ideas, don't forget to tell them at least one thing that you liked about their work. Be honest but don't flame.
-I love Anime Music Videos and all forms of art that are honestly and eloquently expressed.
