Woah, poetry? On a poetry website???
A collection of poems and stream of consciousness writings from over the years. Unfortunately I lost 20 yrs of writing in a flood in 2018, and it's been a challenge to get back into this side of my creative self. However, it will all pour out eventually so here I am.
This will be a random (and often chaotic) assortment of musings that I put down in order to make sense of my life. Much of this will likely be used in various upcoming projects I am working on. I give warning that I am a romantic and much of this will likely chronicle the love of my life, and coming to grips with losing her while also struggling to win her back.
Come read with me in my emotional struggle, identity, resilience, mental health, hope and sexual abuse a man.
Come along and join me as we turn ANYTHING thats right, you heard me correctly, ANYTHING into art, decor, antiques, you name it! We will cover all kinds of topics and genres of crafting art.

and straight to the heart
Have you ever trauma dumped? Whether it be to a friend, a therapist or onto a sheet of lined paper? Writing has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I stopped writing when I was around 19 years old. As I got older, now 30, and life was throwing challenges my way, I knew I needed to start writing again. Here is where you will find my trauma dump. Raw emotions, real trauma, real stories and how I navigate all of this.
Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

What a Mess. Political satire hidden within actual news and life lessons.
Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

"No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."
