Basically I love words - they are powerful things. I've been writing poetry since I was around 13. It's such a feeling of satisfaction and release to take an emotion or experience and wrap it up in a poem.
Your fingers electrify my skin
And send shivers down my spine
I’m so very aware
Of your hand in mine
...
They measure intelligence -
The reflection of the mind
They measure your appearance
...
It's such a struggle
to keep these feet on the ground,
they seem intent to fly.
What use is my head
...
Bottom of the bottle
I’m visiting tonight.
I’m swiftly on my way -
Your face is in my sight.
...
Your eyes lead to places
As cold and hard as stone
Your stubbornness leaves you
Destined to be alone
...
