CAUTION: Not in alphabetical order!!! WARNING: Some explicit language!!! This is my story expressed in symbolic poems. I have always wanted to be understood; but I went to great lengths to avoid it at the same time because of my fear of being hurt. I believe it showed in my poems, and that is why my poems are rich in symbolism. With heavy influences in each trial of my life, I feel like the messages I have tried to convey in each poem will be lost to even myself. Though some might view that as troubling; I disagree. Too me it is a testament to the truth that I am always changing and so is my perspective- my mentality. Aside from expressing the wonders of my mind; some content within were a spur of the moment, a topic given if you will. As such; there are some poems that accurately convey my feelings and thoughts and some that are just my mere imagination. I share my poems in hopes that some one somewhere can relate; may you enjoy all that I was...

{Completed} Highest Ranking: # 1 in Fantasy (01/28/17) Book. 1 My blood boiled at the thought of one of them in our streets, hidden in plain sight, perhaps even by one of the kids from the orphanages. Would it murder innocent human children? You bet. Would it even think twice about gutting a starving child? Never. What could do this, you're probably asking. But it boils down to one single word. One word that made anger I hadn't known I possessed, roar to life like a pissed off lion. One word that sent a cold chill spider-walking down my spine. Faeries. ------------ Eve Scotts's world is divided by magic - The Order of the Seven who rules over her kingdom with a steel fist and the murderous faeries's she'll be forced to fight when she turns eighteen. Eve is a dueler, a human that dabbles in the elements to fight in underground scuffles for some extra coin to feed her fellow orphans back home. But she has a secret weapon: She can wield ice magic - a magic that is only reserved for the High Witches at court. But she makes a mistake. She exposes herself. Rumors are spreading of a small orphan girl who can wield the power of ice, and it isn't long until the Order sends one of their own to snatch up the bounty. In exchange for the secrecy of her special gift, Eve agrees to participate in the Witches Academy, where humans are taught to wield the power of the elements and become powerful witch soldiers for the Order's disposal. As Eve is drawn further into the Witch world, she risks everything to learn more about her power and her lineage. With her frozen heart melting for the Count of Night, Sebastian O'Neill, Eve is thrown into a cyclone of love, betrayal, and family drama she hadn't even known an orphan could inherit. Soon, Eve must decide: Is love, or survival more important? Word Count: 102,000.

What Bryce Beaumont, a young researcher from California was to discover on Mykonos-that Greek island of billionaire hideaways, nude beaches and world-class nightclubs, was more than a playground for the privileged. In his probing the undercurrents of the jet-set high season, he would learn the little island was also home and history to a very ancient clan of beings. One of them, a darkly lithe and stunning woman, had been waiting a long time to keep a family promise alive. It would materialize that summer-as would a cabal of strangers from the nary world of the undead. . . . Melina Vespucci was Greek-Italian. She was single, jaw-dropping wealthy, reportedly the descendant of a Venetian Duke . . . and as a resident of one of the white villas atop a Mykonos cove. . . still beautiful after five-hundred years . . .
