Bio
Writing is a vulnerable experience. Be it fiction (for the imagination), poetry (for the soul) or non-fiction... it is all an art form to me. Thank you for reading and making my words worth sharing. www.dsfwrites.carrd.co

Not Everything. Top Story - June 2024.
Do you ever feel like you can't run from yourself fast enough? Like every decision you’ve ever made is eternal, but that knowledge alone is not enough to keep you from acting on your idiotic impulses and the thoughts of your bad heart?

Watcher Of The Night
This poem was originally written for a contest held by the Florida Scholastic Press Association and won 3rd place. I was 17 or 18 at the time. The notes by the judges included praise with only one critique: "Not good to use religion in a school contest." As a senior in high school, I entered it into The META Interdisciplinary Journal by Saint Petersburg College where it first appeared in print. The META Journal has since gone out of print. I now submit "Watcher of the Night" to Vocal for one last chance at immortalizing this work which has meant so much to me over the years. I am thankful to Vocal Media for giving me this platform to express myself and my art freely.

Porcelain Elephants. Top Story - February 2023.
The ashes arrived in a beautiful hand-carved wooden box. When I saw it, it was displayed next to a little porcelain figurine of a mother and son elephant. "You can have the figurine," mom said. I picked it up and turned it over in my hands. It was cute. It looked old. Vintage. I wanted to take a bat at it, scream that it was not enough. Fling it from a rooftop with a string of curses. Out loud I said, "You'd better keep it, mom. The kids will drop it."

Grooming Abusers
“It's a process, it doesn't happen overnight, when you depersonalize another person and view them as just an object, an object for pleasure and not a living breathing human being. It seems to make it easier to do things you shouldn't do.” -Jeffrey Dahmer
