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.

The Noise


My mind always creates a flurry of disruption,
Usually it’s driven by a boisterous corruption.
It never points in one direction so I’m not sure of its aim,
As it rips through my head, it leaves me filled with shame.
I will quest to know the reason why it has to be this way,
What is it that I’m missing I wonder more each day.
Am I doing something wrong or am I simply out of sync,
With all the clamor and confusion it’s really hard to think.
Friendless and alone is how it desires me to feel,
Persuading me to except it, as if it all were real.
It thinks of me as weak, as if I had no way to win,
It plays upon my fear in the hope that I’d give in.
Staunch is my conviction that the noise won’t always last,
I will find the inner strength to keep the noise lost in my past.
