Because even the wildest hearts fall to their knees when the light fades. Set against the silence of open skies and the ache of everything left unsaid, Even Cowboys Cry at Dusk is a collection of poems about the kind of love that lingers, long after the dust settles. These pieces speak of men who run from what they feel, women who burn too bright to stay, and the ghosts that follow when pride lasts longer than tenderness. It's the quiet heartbreak of wide horizons and empty beds, of longing that hums like a train in the distance. Told in the language of wind, whiskey, and unspoken truth, this book captures the raw, cinematic ache of being human, the way we love, lose, and carry what never really lets go. For the ones who loved too hard. Left too late. And still feel it when the sun goes down.

A compilation of poems that tells a story of someone who stays and believes that this time it'll be different. Even though knowing it always still ends with her leaving..

Some doors in a psych ward aren't meant to be opened- And some questions aren't meant to be asked out loud. This is the final piece of my eight-part collection, Barbed Wire Psalms- poems about survival, relapse, family lies, dark humor, and the places where grace finally catches up. Psalm VIII asks the last question: Who really gets to walk into your life-and who never earned the right?

Forgiveness built on rubble. "From my ongoing collection, Barbed Wire Psalms." The image of growing up from the outside was just a little different from what others saw. "Family Facade" to follow. - from the collection Barbed Wire Psalms (Part 5 of 8) by Christopher Paul Putnam (CP²)

We share stories in rooms without doors. The world outside doesn't understand - how a word, a memory, or a drink can undo years of healing. This one's for the quiet ones, the coffee drinkers, the night watchers. A short story about addiction, recovery, and the strange comfort of the fellowship that never truly ends. - from the collection Barbed Wire Psalms (Part 4 of 8) by Christopher Paul Putnam (CP²)

"Poems of Unspoken Affection" a collection of my rhymed poems from love and nature, shaped by family tension, mental strain, and the quiet fight in my mind to stay creative. Each piece is a crack in the dam where emotion floods through and survival turns into art.

Leaving the drinkers was the first brutal step, not towards healing, not towards clarity, but toward staying alive long enough to have a chance. This is the opening piece of *Carousel of Destruction*, a prequel cycle to *Barbed Wire Psalms* about the gravity of addiction, the people who kept spinning, and the moment you stepped off the ride.

Petals encompasses identity. How it isn't bound by labels but a collection of them. There are facets of ourselves people may never see. We reserve these layers for multitudes of reasons. We exist because we are. Take time to learn about yourself, turn every rock, deep dive, don't graze the surface. Learn, accept, BE.

Random thoughts of everything that happened in my life.

When the highway ran out and the sky split into three moons, I found Him standing past Navo Road - part vision, part memory, part hallucination with a cardboard sign. This is Psalm VII from my ongoing collection, Barbed Wire Psalms - poems about faith, relapse, family lies, And the strange places grace still shows up. Read more from the series: Happy House (Psalm I) Levi Garrett (Psalm II) In One Year (Psalm III) Half Ass Sober (Psalm IV) Our Unknown Allergy (Psalm V) Family Façade (Psalm VI) Roadside Jesus (Psalm VII) Were You Invited? (Psalm VIII - coming soon)

Every family has a story. Ours just happened to unravel at the funeral. One mother's truth. One son's disbelief. One sentence that tore through silence: "Paul was an asshole." Family Façade cracks open the polite rituals of grief and exposes the raw, unfiltered honesty hiding beneath "thoughts and prayers." A follow-up to Happy House - this poem stares straight into the mess we inherit, the laughter that leaks through pain, and the sacred chaos of finally telling the truth. - From the collection "Barbed Wire Psalms" (part 6 of 8) by Christopher Paul Putnam (CP²)

Every Poem Is Your Fault isn't just a collection, it's my proof. Every page is what you did to me, every line the hurt you left behind. I wrote the things you'll never say out loud, the scars you keep pretending don't exist. You can lie to yourself. You can lie to them. You can even lie to the life you keep running back to. But the truth doesn't change, it's carved into every poem on these pages. This is for anyone who's been broken by someone they trusted and left carrying the silence alone. These pages hold the weight of betrayal, the ache of what was never said, and the strength I clawed back by putting it into words. Every poem is proof of what happened. Every poem is your fault.
