the city is a living, gasping entity, right now. the city's blood dribbles across the gravel in slow-motion. and its hands scrape for another's to hold because the ones offered are far too cold now. a divisive force of black and white, red and blue. we're the biggest small city to exist. we are not new york city or los angeles. not san francisco or miami. not even an orlando. but we're dallas and we need prayers too. we need love and support for the city. we need warms hand and able legs to move us towards what's been promised before us. the city, before now, is something that i have always held close to my heart. it's where i live and whe...

winter here means the sky closes up and the only blue i will find is buried in my veins.it means as the wind whips it howls your name in icy tongues. as snowflakes melt on my skin i feel your hands on me, reverent in the way a mother touches the gift of a child.it means as icicles crash i hear you falling to the floor, knees shattering and hands splintering into synova and bone shards. six winters ago i watched you melt away into the bedspread and dissipate in the red of ambulance lights. i held you in my hands weeks later, and let the wind take you in a single gust, spread you into the sea and sky. you are snow now, a cycle.you are in eve...

i am no part; your breaths keep time and space ragged.you are arriving: smirk on your shadow speaks, dirt in the meadow leaps up from earth. i see the ivy meet, twist off your undersized sandals, keep pressure where preciousness flew. you like the way the path echoes, i am no part.you are held: cold in the woozy eve freaking out, wondering how the barks constrict. i see the scent tempt, soft in the creases of devotion, of pure indiscretion, of hemp. you like the waver of constellations, i am no part.you are left: gasping, contorting, rashly prying, stung like dying is the best love. I see symmetry hoping this holds, beckoning slow waves an...

A Little About Me on DeviantART:

I have been writing since I was about six years of age. I write for my own enjoyment, a sense of inner fulfillment, and judge writing I read on the heart and soul of a piece that speaks to my inner heart. My writing is at times raw, but always honest. There is beauty everywhere and I seek it out, with an open mind and pen. I enjoy writing and reading novels of all sorts, but my favorite genres are Historical romance, fantasy, and suspense. I also dabble in digital designs and website creation & editing.

Away from DeviantART, I work daily in a physical therapy rehabilitation clinic. I also deem myself as a rather serious Abraham Lincoln scholar, and spend a great deal of my free time when not working studying, reading, learning, and eagerly collecting all things Lincoln.

What Can I Do For You Here?

As a former Literature Community Volunteer, I am very familiar with the community and will happily offer support to anyone who has questions or concerns at any time. I continue to strive my personal best to do whatever possible to make everyone’s experience here on DeviantART and beyond the absolute best that it can be.

Any other questions? Please feel free to send me a note.

August: The Graceful Road

0 min read

[DEVIATION] Welcome to August. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. With another birthday this month (August 17), I am feeling my age and can also feel myself starting to slow down— despite my mind still being a bundle of energy and wanting me to keep on the move. Time does sneak up on us and despite my best efforts, I have to stop to take several moments to breathe and other moments to rest before taking trying to take the next step. As an aside, I have been falling behind in some of my bills because of several unexpected doctor expenses due to my health, terrible migraines and long-term depression... so any donations on my GoFundMe page would be beyond helpful, if you have a little time to spare. [EMOTE][EMOTE][EMOTE][EMOTE] The circle grows smaller as we age. People travel down their own paths and get submerged into the deep dives of their own lives that many of them quietly fade away. I look to hold onto things that truly matter, despite the moments of quiet

Hello beloved community, I do not typically do this...but I am in dire need of some financial assistance. I created a gofundme account and any help you can offer to assist in my paying off major debts would be greatly appreciated. Love you all from the bottom of my heart.

July: Practice and Progress

0 min read

[DEVIATION] Welcome to July! Another month begins and I wanted to start off by saying that I have appreciated the ongoing support I have had from many here, and that cannot be understated. I say it often but I sincerely mean it. Just when I forget what matters, you remind me why I am here posting. I am still very excited about my novel Life of Shadows being published, although things are fairly quiet on the back-end as of right now, as it takes an entire village to create masterpieces. Early on in the year, I created a Pinterest inspiration board to set up fun goals and activities for myself throughout the months to challenge myself to jump out of the safety of my private, protective box, so to speak and put myself out there. Needless to say, the experiment has been successful thus far and I am proud of the progress I have made. One of the first things I did was finish my favorite novel manuscript and sent it to a publisher, the second thing I did was invest in a vlogging camera.
