Too long in my academic career, I have heard from my instructors that my writing is a natural talent; but I never took the time until to refine my raw poetic energy into something legible. Now, the act is liberating, and to be frank, intoxicating. It is as if, I have lived in a perpetual 'it’s on the tip of my tongue' reality, and I have finally found the right words. Poetry allows me to shine a light on the deepest metaphors inside me, and to structure them into images that I observe on any given day. My goal is to create an exploration for my readers: I want them to understand the specific reasons I pinpoint an image, or I dwell in a theme, or I burrow in a revelation.
