Hi there, I'm on Poeticous for the same reason that most of us are. I want people to experience the poems that flow through me. And I want to read that poems that flow through other people. I've read some poems on here that've made me cry and others that've made me laugh. I am delighted to read what other people have created and to share what I have created. Poetry is a language in and of itself. Nothing compares to reading a poem written by someone you don't even know and nodding your head in approval to every single line.
I have been writing poetry for over a decade as an amateur. I have always written on human nature, the natural world and psychology but have recently become increasingly interested in mixing in Sufism and Daoism into my works. Thus, there are notable influences from great philosophers, poets and sages of ancient China and Persia in my more recent works. I am a fusion of the Occidental and Eastern lands and my works reflect this along with a fusion of classical and contemporary poetry. Follow your heart!

I've been told that I'm a book of contradictions. I'll start with the basic stuff: I'm 23 years old. I have 3 siblings: one sister and two brothers. I was born in Savannah, GA and raised in the state of GA. After graduating from Gilmer High School, I went through a period of emotional tragedy that led me to the cross of Jesus Christ. At this point in my life, I realized that all of my sins had caused Him to pay the price that I should have paid. Upon this realization, I fell to my knees and repented with all of my heart (the best way I knew how to, anyways). When this occurred, Jesus set me free. He set me free from my sin, from my negativity, from my selfishness, from myself. He gave me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and temperance by His Spirit, the Comforter of God's children. He wrote my name in heaven, and He gave me His Word to guide me until the day I get there. Praise be to God for this wonderful gift! So, as you may have guessed, I am completely dedicated to the cause of Christ. Nobody, nothing will detour me from serving my God. Although I may stumble and fail time and time again, I keep getting back up and pushing onward for Jesus. In the end, He is the only One that matters, anyways; everything else in life is ultimately meaningless without God! They say that I have a very eccentric personality; I would concur. I have my "extremes", I suppose. I can be very hyper and energetic with my friends (to the point to where I annoy them), and I can also be very quiet and to myself. It just depends on what mood I am in, really. Overall, I'm an introverted extrovert. Although I enjoy conversing with people, I prefer to stay within myself and to think about the deep things of life. And by deep things, I don't mean just academic stuff; rather, I mean the things that really matter. The things that we will carry with us into eternity. The things that God cares about are the things that we should care about, for God is good, and His Word is good, too. Whatever His Scriptures state is true; that is what we should cling to, for His truth is the ultimate source of truth that we have. Without it, we are ultimately doomed to wander in the darkness of this world. It is a light to the lost sinner and a source of comfort to the redeemed. Praise God for it! I think very abstractly.... that's just one of my personality quirks. I think in angles that most people don't think in. I am also a people watcher; I enjoy sitting back and observing people in the midst of conversation. I'm always wondering what's going through someone's head and why they are thinking that way. I guess I'm just one of those kind of thinkers. My hobbies are simple. I enjoy reading the classics (To Kill a Mockingbird, A Pilgrim's Progress, etc.). I enjoy thinking about stuff. My most joyous past time, however, relates to music. I have a jukebox for a brain, so I always think in terms of numbers and music (math and music go hand in hand for some reason. I enjoy both!). I have been playing guitar for over eight years, and I continue to do so with the utmost joy! I write my own music and apply it to God's Kingdom. Everything you see on here will reflect the goodness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May it honor and glorify Him!
Hello, Everyone & Welcome To My Page. I Just Wanted To Tell You A Little Bit About My Writing. When I Write, I Don't Follow The Well-known Poetry Rules. I Just Write. I Don't Use Big Words In Them Either. To Me, That Makes It More Complicated For The Reader. Especially If My Poem Is Relating To Teenage Issues. They'll Probably Get Lost Along The Way, & Zone Out. Also, Most Of My Writing Is Created Through Emotion. I'm A Very Sensitive Person, So I Write Things Out Instead Of Complaining To Everyone. This Way Is MUCH Easier For Me. I Have Over 400 Poems. I Was Hoping I Could Meet People Who Share The Same Interests & Ideas With Me. My Goal Is To Change The World Through Poetry, & , After All ; I've Got To Start Somewhere.
