About Me

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.

My Life


I go to speak but the words won't come,
And when I think my brain goes numb.
I search the earth to find my way,
But where I fit I cannot say.
I feel alone in a crowded room,
I have no friends to share in my gloom.
A thousand thoughts attack my head,
Most are unpleasant but not all dread.
A stranger in my own right,
Hiding in the dark away from the light.
Not by choice but perhaps by design,
I know in time a place I’ll find.
Until such events transpire for me,
I’ll suffer in silence until I’m set free.
