Welcome

My resolution for 2010 was to write a poem every day. By January 2nd I had already failed. Instead of scrapping the idea as a whole, I decided that to keep myself accountable I would post my writings to this blog every day. This place has changed a lot since then and so have I. While I'm not trying to write a poem every day anymore, I still love using this as a platform to share my thoughts, feelings and experiences with other people. So welcome to the public recording of my life. Feel free to hang out for a while. Read some old stuff, read some new stuff, or just listen to some music. Hopefully you enjoy yourself and maybe something here will speak to you in a way I couldn't have ever imagined.

Find Stuff

Jolly Old Saint Valentine

Who's the one who gets to say
that all our love gets just one day.
We box it up, won't let it stray
confine it in whatever way

We can find on Saint Valentine's Day.

We play along with this tradition,
employ it for our inhibition.
Then we hire a statistician
to tell us how love faded away.

We can't even find it on Saint Valentine's Day.

Is this what the worthy Saint intended?
To hide our hearts, not get them mended?
To give love just one day to be tended?
This love has so much more to say

than we can find on Saint Valentine's Day.

So this year let love break freely out.
Discover what its all about;
Daily, open emotion's spout;
Experience day-to-day

the feelings we save for Saint Valentine's Day.
