Writing is my passion. I suppose that should go without saying. Art is more than a practice. It is my identity. Through words, the very fabric of existence, I do my best to shape a brighter world, and capture the essence of the current one.

Contempt of Courtship

Contempt
It was loathing at first sight
And the love slipped through the cracks
Of my insistent apathy
Your skin was red- the way mine should have been
And your hair was too much like
An onyx fountain
Spilling from your snowy scalp
And it make your face look ugly
Like a misplaced root
Or thorny vine, brown and dying
Your eyes were too moving
And you looked through me
Like I was unimportant
Like my beauty was a footnote
Like a person looks through glass
And never at it
And you looked through me
Again
Again
And one more time
Until my stained glass Virgin Mary
Didn't matter anymore
And I learned to love your ugly
From the inside out
I Could Fall
I may bleed imperfect
And the rust upon my eyelashes
May
