In high school, I was that guy that EVERBODY knew, but I wasn’t popular. The one that was loud but never really talked. Too busy anylizing everything. I was also a band dork. ha. But I was a cool band dork.

So yeah, I’m low key. Don’t like huge crowds, but I will hit up a party every now an…

Sometimes I do not think that I have much more of a normal life to live. I say a normal life because I am not sure if that means that my body will physically die or if the comforting ebbs of my subconscious are going to wash me away to a place where the worries of the world cannot find me. I am afraid of either actually happening, yet both scenarios intermingle in my mind, constantly reminding me of how extremely fragile we really are. I do not think that most people are confronted with these...

The sight of you approaching Conjures the deepest of buried emotions. I smile sincerely, Despite the sudden panic I swallow, Due in part to the quick understanding That he will force an impromptu congratulatory speech. And partly because I genuinely miss you. You extend your hand to me. This simple gesture is nearly offensive, Yet I dare not hesitate to this handshake. Your hand is pleasantly familiar, Although I do not feel the electric current That your touch once emitted. I politely reach ...

Your eyes plea to be consoled, As words doubtfully sneak past your lips. It would be so easy to react, Yet I remain unaffected by your confessions. You seem so uncertain and your voice trembles. I could make this easier for you, With just a hint of an encouraging smile. But I need to feel your tension grow, So my eyes constantly follow yours, Not allowing you to break this connection. A small price for the relief you will feel, As my ears receive this oral burden. My never changing expression...

You vanished so quickly before my eyes. I had never imagined you could leave me here alone. Days passed before I even knew to cry. And when I did, I wasn't sure that my tears mattered. I knew it would be weeks before I could return to our home. Surely that would be enough time to forget you. Yes, I thought it would be better to write you off for good. I don't know what you expected me to do when you left. I found pieces of you everywhere when I came back home. In different rooms your smile ha...

Short Story / Candice... an excerpt
Although I do not consider myself a talented writer, I rarely issue perfect scores when I try and offer my lowly critique. In this case, I have no choice. Every word made me anxious to read the next. I did have one small problem with this story, especially in the first time I read it. The main character has Regina book Candice's flight exactly 21 days from his departure date (two weeks) after having Candice book his vacation for three weeks. This mislead my idea of the main character's motive...
Poetry / A Lover's Dream
This is a well crafted poem. The message is easily conveyed and with an ebbing flow. It accents the content matter perfectly. The story is beautiful and I appreciate this poem. There are some really nice phrases found through out. Great work!
Poetry / Dandelions
Everything about this piece - not that it isn't good - seems a little cliché. The subject matter is so common that a piece of this nature requires a flawless deliverance. I think there are some things to be worked on here, although it is a really good piece, but you have to spice it up somehow so it doesn't get lost in the sea of other love poems.
As with so many of us younger writers (I include myself), there is a good base here but there just doesn't seem to be enough. But first... Watch for simplier things. Punctuation is always good and there are a couple of other mechanical errors. I feel that the flow of this piece is a little weak. Ok, when I read this piece, I get the idea of how you feel and your perspective of the situation. But I don't want an idea, I want you to take me there. Give me more content to work. I really like thi...
