Poetry and Other Forms of Torture
For me, writing poetry has always been a kind of therapy. When thoughts and feelings or even questions overwhelm me, taking them from the abstract caverns of my mind and putting them on paper make them concrete- something I can see, touch, make sense of, or just throw away and move on. I liken the process of writing to making order out of chaos.

These poems were written over the last 10 years and are in no particular order. Each one is a glimpse into where I was on my journey at that time. Some are about love- found, lost, found again, or finally gone. In these, there is much hope that this is the one, and even more heartbreak that it was not.

Many of these poems are about my faith in God and the struggles that sometimes cause me to doubt or question. Yet the majority of those struggles come from forgetting to remember what I believe to be true. The greatest truth is that He has never abandoned me, even though I have run from Him countless times in an effort to try and fix all of my failures on my own. However futile my efforts, or how often I return home beaten, bruised, and muddy, He is always been there to forgive, to heal, to comfort, to restore, and above all else, to love .

My greatest prayer is that whoever reading these poems is somehow touched, whether you see yourself, or you merely see me. And more over, you are able to walk away knowing you are never alone, never unlovable, and most important, never without hope. PLEASE feel free to email me with your comments and/or questions.

And sign the guestbook so I will know you were here!!!
