Canadian my PEACE is GREEN. / / and.. I just want to find Shangri-la / and discover things yet to discover. / / I am from a very small town in the mountains of british columbia. I have been writing poetry and stories since i can remember. I take inspiration from the people around me, they are talented people who hold the most beautiful of human emotions..
Your kisses fade so fast The explosion of energies Disappears into the dead air of our nights Into this sparkling city Escapes into our starless sky These mountains are so different here I search for home but it feels so far away There are oceans and deserts Mountain ranges.

a new city
I feel the love before the fate Most steps I pretend to take I danced around in the moves I faked My shoes tripped up by invisible lace I failed to wake after I fell to my fate I learned nothing from the lines I traced These are the connections I've made.

keeping things to myself
You left those conversations Behind, as if they never happened. You lived to find yourself in moments Captured forever by others. How kind these words make me The end of words.

goodbye, you
The leathered devils, Who you treated as gods Were unrelenting. Gave us shots of whiskey out of rusted glasses. They took you as they did i, On their stainless chariots To the darkest reaches Places only they could find. It's a wonder we ever came out alive. Those deviled prospects pushed their words Through us, and through us Onto you. You, never deserved their twisted fates.

untitled.
The smell of old spice and expensive merlot follows you everywhere you’ve been every place you go. Can’t connect to the time or place when you became a mystery to me. You were always busy a plane and a train away. I knit together things to ask you begging you to be familiar again. The paper full of questions crumpled in my hand on your return. Now is never a good time... When alone, I crawled through your life. All stuffed in boxes, Polaroid’s and negatives. My eyes like hummingbirds anxious and darting. Found photos of you of your past, unknown to me. Someone I did not recognise living inside those snapshots. Long sandy blonde hair, wild eyes riding motorcycles boiling with life. So serious now a difficult man, who has witnessed hard things. Who sips rare scotch, with two ice cubes and talks of politics and good hosts. Mystery man, Who shares my my hazel green eyes And the color of my hair Yours now short and grey. With tears of dew in my eyelashes I wait for you at our home, Alone. To speak of your travels and trivial matters. My unanswered questions painfully shovelled from my mind.

Mystery Man.
Your fingers calloused Thick, from steel strings Six, if strummed lightly Gently, Reverberate, echo Through my heavy head I daydream silently Listening to your twisted insides Listening to you sing “jealousy is a strange disease” Im always at your side Secretly wishing to be sewn to you You picked me. I daydream our secret memories To when we realized what was real When we sprinted, undetected Chasing eachother Through trees and quiet streets All you could hear was the thudding Of our bare feet From the dazzling night Into the misty, unearthly dawn Back to reality We never grew tired When spirits pumped through our veins Laughter caught in our throats When you said “you are always on my mind..” Time was so rare, then And now it has run dry I really see you, now Your puppy eyes Seeing through me softly And mine, open wide Piercing yours, in silence Stolen moments Are now only Secret memories And now, When I hear you sing that song See your fingers slide, heavily When your eyes flick to mine Im no longer a believer, In fate.

Spirits
This town is no the same without you. A haze has fallen Upon our tiny town filling the air we breathe They say it comes From burning trees As I walk down all these familiar roads sometimes with my eyes closed i no longer feel at home I hold fast To memories of our past Gallivanting down these streets Owning the night Like it was only our right The streets were once our home The surrounding trees our shelter The hot pavement our bed The stars our light Back then, We felt as if we were on fire Back then, We felt as high as the sky The world was ours And we kept our eyes wide open Now, I keep searching For familiar faces For familiar places For a feeling I felt once But now it is all extinct Like the dinosaurs Now it is all a memory I’m desperate to grasp Now, I stroll down these streets Alone My eyes are stressed In want of a sight I’ve seen Before I think I search in vain.

A Haze
Its the noise that you've got to make when you've figured out when you've figured out whats at stake. And its the tears that you've got to cry when you've realized when you've realized You can no longer try. There are words you have to speak and things left to touch people are never what they seem so always tell them what you mean. It's never the end of the world when two lives suddenly become one. because sometimes it means you have won. the battle the war of love of hate of life of death its neverending its relentless. so yell scream so cry and say what you mean. "i won't let anyone be the death of me"

No Holds Bar.
It was almost a fairytale right at the start. I was stuck, alone, in a high tower. With nothing but my own thoughts and fears. I was pacing, and tracing back and forth. one moment to the next, it never stopped. You approached me alone, unafraid, weilding your sword and magic tricks. I was amused by your antics i only wanted more. you brought your ladder and laid upon my high tower wishing for me to reach out, i was so close yet you were untouchable. a fingertip away from the inevitable. you climbed and brought me closer we were one step away from becoming lost together. our very own happily ever after. you could sense that i was terrified by your demons They followed you everywhere and never gave you reason. Your were a fingertip away from saving me, from myself. But your demons clawed holes through your eyes, clouded your judgement, and seperated your lies. i couldnt believe the sight i had seen. your demons tore rips through our fairytale blitz. you let them get to you, and hurt me. they pulled you down, and pulled you deeper. down the steep ladder, of my high tower. you fell to the ground, with a much dreaded shudder. i could see you bleeding all your pain and misery, feeding the demons that brought you close to me. i stood there enclosed within my safe, secure, haven and wondered if you would ever stop breathing. i am stuck inside my tower, full of thoughts and fears. waiting for you to come back and rekindle my spirits you will return in time you are my last living hope in mankind. i need the comfort, the thrills. i await your return to me heels. one day you will escape all of your demons and finally rescue me from my prison.

Your voice runs through my head A tape recorder crackly and old. I remember every word that you have ever said. They string along flowing out of my ears. Everything is backwards. You can't control your destiny but you have tried nonetheless. Backwards and forwards. Your fate is relentless. You can only have the best You never stop to rest. Where are you going with your life I wonder. And how did you manage to avoid such a blunder This blunder meaning me, My life. Your run your life like you run your car. Spewing out harmful toxins. riding by the small things. constantly looking ahead you never stop to smell daisys, daffodils. you keep running over cats you tires tread over my head. what you say is harsh and has no meaning. i watch you and start silently seething everything from your dandruff to your hairy toes. makes me want to knock you out cold. you cant seem to string along thoughts that make any sense. but i seem to remember what you say more than ever. your so hypocritical to me and you say you want to be free. you are a joke. the words you said to me that night are branded into my brain how am i even sane? "You only want what you can't have, i loved you, did you know that? Your insane for not loving me back, you have more hidden issues than ive ever had. i did everything i could for you, Did you know that? i love you, you know that."
