I write under a waning moon I write at the edge of pulsating water I imagine your energy eclipsing me Scintillating powers for apocalyptic hours I want to write something explosive Verses for this explosive instant A poem writhing—tumultuous A conduit for licentious erotic vision Your image […]

I sit by the water—I came here to write….The river ebbs and flows and pulsates with energy…It reverberates with the power to sustain life and the power to take it… I came to write about my mind—to write about the social construct known as bipolar disorder…This diagnosis has been an […]
