I’m a poet/spoken word artist based in central Florida writing to give voice to the silenced. In my spare time, I enjoy sleep piles with my kids, my wife (and all that she is), and being a recently self-proclaimed weekend warrior barbecue pit master.

Gazing in Ghazal

I touch myself, yet, yearning, aching, your demanding hands,
whimpering with wanting to perform, with our matching hands.

Daydreams of being bounded by vines in sweaty summer,
when we'd sing of coffee and herbals, in your winding hands.

You're pressing keys and buttons quickly, dexterous fingers,
maybe you could teach me, show me tricks with your guiding hands.

I'll get dressed now and grip your soft beard, winks you'll understand,
lure you to our bedroom and ensnare your strong gripping hands,

Once I've nipped your neck and hear your gasp, I know I've got you,
then play keep away so you capture restraining my hands.

It was late yesterday evening, when the suited and booted #stranger knocked at my door; asking did Mr J D Johnson live in the #unit next door to me. I answered, never heard of him, plus it’s been empty for years. He didn’t even say thanks before going. #2wordprompt 1/2 ⬇️ #vsshorror #vssparanormal

Dylan could #pummel all the innocent packing crates he had lying around, but it wouldn’t solve the fact that he sat here, in self-imposed isolation, while people were dying out there in the Five Systems. He couldn’t help those that refused to believe they needed help. He could help others. #vss365

Dylan had the comms running the whole time he made the slight repairs and adjustments to Magpie’s systems. Toiling away on one of the ship’s #wings, he became ever more frustrated as more and more obvious signs were passed off as freak accidents and the attentions of raiders or pirates. #vss365

To call anything #mystical in the game was to be more than a little redundant, as magic permeated practically every corner of the world. Even supposed warriors tended to have some spell or other they could use. It broke the suspension of disbelief for Rory, a little, but it didn’t ruin it. #vss365

AI is like caressing a manican. The shape is somewhat true to form, but there is nothing of substance beneath the surface. Like an actor in a movie doing their lines, with the audience thinking they're speaking directly to them. A false message, missing your heart and soul...

Grumpty Dumpty, Humpty’s #grumpy father, was devastated when he heard the news about his son’s fall. He'd warned Humpty about walls. "Never forget what happened to cousin Crumpty, Uncle Scrumpty, and Shellius Crackhammer—the blacksmith." "We're eggs, dammit," he yolked. "We're fragile!" #vss365
