Always Write

Green Lights

Another dark blue vision

in this whitewashed place,

between these

well planned lives

You’re standing where the 

ocean meets the sand,

where the waves

have whispered for 

centuries.

and I run to-

I can’t say it.

not now, not ever.

your lips were as

cool that night

as Daisy Buchanen

at the end of her dock,

lit by the last of summer

and a cool green light

No!

this is not possible-

fists raised,

I will fight this,

This will not 

break our home,

I promised,

whispered secrets

in the midst of

another midnight

my hands soften and fold,

they cannot fight, they

need touch-

strange how instinctual

prayer is,

ironic how religion 

preys on this need 

for human touch,

for warmth, the feeling

of here are the people,

here is the steeple

and look-they are warm..

Meanwhile the 

sand stands solid

despite the screams of the

waves,

the pull of the tide,

and the dock

glows green-

Your lips burn

as I touch them

Publication News!

Just submitted two poems for the Human Rights Anthology a few days ago! Crossing my fingers…being published is always good, as it helps spread my work! Unfortunately, there is no cash prize for this one, but the top three poets are invited to go to a three day long writing workshop! I don’t expect to win that, and even if I did, it’d be in London, so I would probably have to miss it. Anyways, just wanted to share that! Thank you all for reading my blog and hitting like or reblog on all of my work. It means more than you know <3 

Also, I’m picking up my Inklight journal from a friend tomorrow-I got published in it a few months back and was traveling so much that I wasn’t able to pick it up at the journal launch! So I am super excited to see it :) 

pssst-justice for Billy, PASS IT ON!

Hey Guys, would you please sign and share this? This is a client of my Dad’s who is on death row with an execution date set for June 12th. He has made many bad decisions, however, he has never killed anyone. Under Florida’s “felony-murder” law, however, this apparently doesn’t matter. Van Poyck has never been tried as a nontriggerman, either, just compounding the miscarriage of justice. The link explains it more, just please please please pass this on. Message me if you have any questions. I don’t know many of you guys, but I do know that we have the chance to use social media to possibly save a life here. As individuals, we can do little, but if we work together, we can make a difference. Also, if you live in the state of Florida, PLEASE consider writing to governor Rick Scott and asking him to grant Billy clemency. Thank you so much.
