I am a 21 year old male hailing from the great northern country. Montreal, Quebec, Canada is where I call home. I am a wanderer and a wonderer and believe that having all the answers is not the right answer. Without the question all the wonderful mysteries of life would not be what they are. Now, while writing is my biggest passion I do make time to play music as well. Although I fashion myself more of a writer than a musician. I enjoy writing stories of a philosophical nature. Stories that are thought evoking yet have a core of love and desire. Some things are best told between the lines. I love to spend time deeply lost in poetry writing which can lead from romance to tragedy to just pure eccentricity. Of course song writing is another strong love of mine and has always been something to take me from place to place, a way to escape.

"Her Song" Rainbows aboard this ship, On which we sail. Colours and coordinations Dissolve through the storm. She was dead, She was gone. Forever unsung, Her parting song. Rainbows form through stormy clouds, Of which we glare. Colour of her eyes shine Like the gold of her hair. She has fled, She has flown. Forever she sings, Her rainbow song.
