If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

6 poems·Since October 2015

I grew up in the Piney Woods of East Texas down a red dirt road which felt like in the middle of no where as a kid. My summers were spent walking creek banks through the forest and swimming in ponds. We did not have cable or satellite so I spent most of my time in the outdoors which I feel played a big role in my ability to open up and connect with nature. I prefer to write outdoors, my mind tends to run freely with deeper and more meaningful thoughts. As Ive grown older I seem to make more and more excuses as to why I am too busy to write, which is a bad thing because its an outlet for me. List of my favorite Poets: Charles Bukowski, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allen Poe, and many more.

Stay of Execution

November 2, 2015
Would you walk with me in the evening sun? Through the hardwoods as they give way to the fall. Lean into me under this canopy of color. I can feel your heartbeat, it races as we press tightly together. Your eyes speak to the deepest & darkest corners of my soul Don’t let me go, let me live in this moment forever Fore I may lose you and I do not know of any other light that can guide my way
