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.

Where Am I


Where have I been, I’ve missed myself so,
As I moved through this life, how fast I did grow,

Yet here I’ve remained, in this place for so long,
And I’ve traced all my steps, like the words of a song,

The answers seem easy but words still evade,
A search from within, over time was not made,

I quest not to find fault, nor seek to lay blame,
But understanding the reasons, how I've lost my old flame,

I fear it was time, that’s planned this cruel ruse,
But where am I hiding, often I muse,

I stand utterly humbled, with arms opened wide,
Peering into my heart and burying my pride,

I want to revive old connections and remake old ties,
But I first must be able to open my own eyes.
