How to sum up who I am in a paragraph? I guess I'll start by saying I am a 27 year old musician, poet, and cook. I love anything that makes me feel alive, whether its creative or extreme. I live to write music, poetry, and just about anything else. I am in love with words. I love the rumble of my voice when speaking and also the vibration from my guitar strings through my hands. I began writing poetry at age sixteen, but my romance with words began with my first novel in 3rd grade. I can thank my grandparents for my love of novels and my vocabulary. For employment I work as a salesman for the Home Depot, but that is not who I am. I aspire to become published, produced, and respected. I have plans to become a certified welder, possibly a chef, and to further my sales career in whatever capacity I find myself in. I find beauty in everything around me, even pain and tragedy. This life is beautiful, terrible, and priceless.

"A Brief Flight" Sometimes I feel like a raindrop, glistening silver changed shapes, never a constant losing mass, gaining water The essence of life streaking through the sky unaware of the inevitable death which awaits As it sparkles defying description in the summer sky the fiery god light projects into the raindrop reflecting as it falls Life gains color blue love red hate green joy yellow anger One shining moment in the air life is as it should be all feeling comes in a rainbow like a fan of mist Kaleidoscopes of color bursts in a psychedelic dream in the morning left with nothing but ...
