I don’t ask for help
which has infuriated those closest to me,
but I say
how can you expect me to open up and ask
or to share my struggles
if you have not laid a foundation of trust
where I feel I could do so.
Without fear,
where I know, unequivocally,
that you are present
that you are on my side
that you are for me.
How can I be expected to lay myself bare
to your gaze
if you are not even looking at me?

I created this blog as a way to express myself using my poetry and photography. It is a reflection of who I am and of the things that interest me. I have many muses…perhaps the greatest one being my love of the sea, how I gravitate to anything relating to water, how I feel a pull toward it deep in my bones. At times I will be revisiting content that I have shared on Twitter which has, until now, been the forum I have expressed myself in. That said, the content will change over time as the blog grows and develops. It is my hope that the reader will enjoy the journey.
