Hey guys I have old work on this profile, but I stopped for about two years now. I got back into it now because I found that art and expression is me. So I hope you like the things I post from now on more lol

If it be to lift my fingers
And trace away
Such adieu, as may
Into the surrounding breath of earth

To turn a pupil
Over a sun-kissed collar,
Thus promising ‘gret and falter
‘nto that once forté decree now dull.

Then presenting semblance
In that very force
Pushing such a kept tear
From falling into thy red, love-sea abyss.

Shall my limbs strive to wonder in thy red shore,
For only if my brow now returnest into thy deep pier

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
