Verse Poems & Non-performance Poetry
Most of my poetry was lost through years of running, using and abusing - it was burned up, snorted up or shot up.
I probably had a verse for every hit I took at some point. With addiction, it doesn't matter what or how much you have when you get clean - it can all disappear in an instant. Flat screen TV's, fancy cars, tropical vacations - I can cook each one of those material things up in a spoon and shoot it in heroin form.
Poetry, however, can't be replaced if its lost - poems are not as trivial as a vacation. I can't revive the rhythmic order or linguistic flow of each piece.
Some things were meant to run their course and not be replaced or recreated, I suppose.
But everything happens for a reason, so I give what I have and I'll keep adding more.
This is a list of the slam poetry I have digitally published so far. I didn't want to play favorites so these poems are in completely random order. Have fun checking them out, and if you have any questions you can always email me or hit me on Twitter. I'll constantly be publishing more work here, so please come visit again!
