About Me

My photo
Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, Canada
I work full time as an advanced care paramedic in Nova Scotia. I am married with three daughters. I have been married to the same beautiful woman for over 21 years and I still live in my hometown, (I haven't found a way out yet! lol!) I am the middle child from a family of eight. I have just recently put my poetry into book format. I first began writing my poetry as a way of self-expression but I have also written it with the intentions of having others read it and hopefully gain understanding through my words. I have always felt out of place, emotionally, spiritually and socially, like I never truly fit in but I am working through this and although at times it is a heavy burden, I don't regret being this way because it has led me to good things and also, it has allowed me to express my self through poetry. I hope that my writing will continue to improve and inspire others to do the same. I am currently working on my second poetry book and I would truly appreciate your support but more importantly I would like to hear any comments from those of you that have read my poems.

From Pain To Life

Standing waiting withered bend
Hoping dreaming awkward mend

Burning bitter arid rain
Loving hating tender pain

Contented stirring sleepless heart
Droned conjecture absconding art

Vacant abundance endless hold
Devouring tempest viciously cold

Breathless lifeless sounds avail
Radiant colors electrically pale

Searching believing empty displaced
Judgmental impetuous bound disgraced

Subtle arrogant neglectful deed
Reserved contemptuous fallowed seed

Subversive dramatist decisive coarse
Deterred resilience commanding force

Yearning void disdainfully gripped
Battered reclusive beaten whipped

Fleshless lifeless horrifically worn
Swiftly departed despondently mourn

Returned rebirth divinely swayed
Celestial creation time remade
