I'm really not sure how to read what seems to be going on here. Am I correct to think that people have taken offense to me posting my work? What is it that's triggered such an interesting response? For those who have mocked me, I am curious to know why so much time has been invested in ripping my st...

Hi Ryan from Vancouver, Before you go in a blaze of glory would you mind tucking some apostrophes into your I'ms. As it stands I keep thinking Instant Message, which always stresses me out as I'm a terrible speller and hate to IM. To be honest it's laughable that I'm the one saying this as it took ...

A sunrise is so much more powerful than a sunset. The sunset shows you all kinds of colors as it goes down to the darkness of the moonlight; The sunrise shows you all kinds of colors and leads you into the light of a new day.....

Something small, It makes you think you know it all You're forced to bend, Dont you ever break... Dont you dare.... The nights so cold, it makes you shiver, it reminds you of who you are, what you feel inside You can see your breath, you know you're alive. My soul is calling out to the heavens Shoot...

Sitting on a greyhound You too ashamed to let anyone know what we are As the rain pours down the window beside me I hear the engine start ...as a tear rolls from my eye, the bus pulls me away from you. The mornings at Santa Barbaras Hendry's Beach 5am watching the fog burn off the sea Sometimes I th...

It just occured to me that of anyone in your life you treat me the worst It just occured to me that of all your priorities your 'precious reputation' comes first Im getting on the train, I'll ride 2000 miles away from here Don't worry about me baby, I ain't gonna shed a tear Suddenly it doesn't feel...

I'd buy the world, wri...

A cool crisp fall morning.... The sun reflects off the rooftops of the city's downtown core Feels like all the time has disappeared.... Reality is setting in so I sit back in my chair Light a cigarette and drunk my lukewarm coffee In such a short time Ive seen too much I am feeling so out of touch, ...

Everything I know Becomes everything I don't. Up all day, out all night I don't want to sleep But don't want to see the sun rise For then now becomes tomorrow. Today becomes yesterday And I'm not ready to let go. Laying in bed, I stare at the ceiling Look to the left, to the North Shore Beyond the m...

Steven and Lizzy,

Thank you for your appreciation. It was not an easy one to share, but cathartic. Thank you for reading...and hearing.

Cohen Made Me Cry The first I heard him I was 9, I watched out the window glazed in frost So cold a prairie night, I will never forget scratching the ice off from the inside. If I had a dollar for every night I spent reflecting on his bared cross I’d have dollars I’d not have lost in liquid, scratch...
