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.

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 is a wonderful way to let someone know that you care as well as to help an author learn a little about how his/her work functions and what touches people's hearts. 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.

1. The Candle I Found reviews
Every compliment, critique, and kindness poured out upon me here has helped me grow more than I could ever hope to on my own. Without your encouragement and presence, I would not be as strong a poet as I am today. So thank you, to all of you.

I found this to be a fitting piece for both how I feel and the day, being the Fourth of July or rather our Independence Day. I hope that you are touched by my words, or that they move you. God bless.

3. Dark Age reviews
I would like to thank Just As I Am for inspiring me to start writing again. I've been so caught up in life lately I've been forgetting to catalog my experiences artistically. Sadly, there is no brightness in this work. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it.

6. Garden reviews
Listening to my favorite band I wrote this. It's partially inspired by their song Desert Garden, at least conceptually speaking. A metaphorical and allegorical piece, and a different tone. Let me know how it touches you, critique also welcome.

A poem about the battlefield of the mind, also possible spiritual interpretations. Death here being a metaphorical death of the mind or of the soul. I dedicate this poem to all those who struggle to find meaning in life and to those of us who have fallen.

11. Ms Novocaine reviews
I dedicate this to one of the truly distasteful people I know and all those like her. If you know me in real life, it's likely you know who I am talking about. This is a harsh critique of her ways and I do hope that you find it interesting.

13. Soul Chameleon reviews
This is an experiment in tone for me, as well as something that is stylistically unique from much of my other work. It's meant to be very light, but to touch on and represent some deep issues. I hope you like it, I liked writing it. Dedicated to everyone.

14. Intertwined reviews
A poem inspired by a thought and my dear Steel Winged Angel's poem Acceptance. It is both about a heart attack and a relationship. It's a bit... unique and styled differently in parts to accentuate meaning and to be representative. Hope you like it!

19. Reflected Rainbows reviews
No excuses. You who linger here and read my work know me. Computer problems and laziness. Also my muse is as a certain Bioshock character would put it: 'a fickle bitch with a short attention span.' So I hope you enjoy this latest piece. Love to you all.

A piece inspired by and dedicated to Sarcastic Presence. I thought of it while reading her story A Field of Broken Glass. If you don't like the word glass, don't read this poem. XD I kid! It's an interesting piece, perhaps a bit simple. Hope you like it!

An observation on the fine art of selfdestruction. It started off with a vague spokenword feel. Not quite sure where it went from there. Seems more of a thinking piece than an emotional one, feel free to let me know how it hits you.

29. The Siren's Song reviews
I'm going through a bit of a change here folks. Another step up it seems. The concepts my poetry is addressing are becoming too complex for simple, firstdraft poems. It's going to take some stylistic flexing and excercizing to get these new poems out.

30. Light Cast As Shadow reviews
A poem inspired by the line Summer don't know me no more in the Gorillaz song El Manana. It was an interesting concept so I decided to flush it out. Purposefully devoid of emotion, let me know if it works. As always, thanks for the reviews and support!

31. Turning Inward reviews
A bit of a personal, observational piece. Less than 10 of my poems have ever taken as long as this one did to write and revise. A rare occurance. But it was necessary to refine what this one says. I hope you agree with me it was worth the extra time :

Saw the ending to "A River Runs Through It" today in my english class. Such a powerful ending to an excellent movie. It moved me so much that I wanted to write a poem about the ending lines to it. I mixed in some philisophy. Enjoy and review if you wish.

126. The Travesty of Inaction reviews
This world is a travesty of what it could be. This peom was inspired by "Pure Sin" by the Prince of Mirkwood. That and "Lost in the Corner" by Echo Despise. I dedicate this to all those people who are lost, who no one stands up for, who suffer needlessly.

129. Where I Put my Heart reviews
A sort of follow up poem to "Evening Ponderings." Just to show how life doesn't just let you forget things, they linger. In any case it's not quite as good as "Ponderings" but I like it nonetheless. Enjoy.

130. Evening Ponderings » reviews
Oo One of my favorite pieces that I have written. I really like this one, a lot. It sums up a lot of how I feel, and it means I can begin to move on. Morning Ponderings is the same poem with a sunrise instead of a sunset. Also for Kel.
