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.

Making Sense


I feel a disconnection and sense a lack of sync,
I hurry to catch up but it happens in a blink.
“I’m human, I’m alive,” I bellow with dissent,
I’ve gone, I’ve vanished, I wonder where have I went.
I feel a storm inside me, as it darkens with despair,
I know it’s where I’m hiding but I’m not sure if I care.
I continually search for reasons to keep going in this fight,
I think I have it figured out but I’m not sure if I’m right.
How can I make sense of all this treachery and pain,
When I’m not even certain of my worth or if I’ll gain.
They keep urging me to move onward in spite of all my faults,
I’ll try to hold out one more day in hopes my anguish halts.
