    jim

    If you follow me on social media, you’ve begun to see posts with excerpts and video recitations of select poems from the forthcoming collection You Can’t Love Her Like This That. The feedback so far has been amazing. For those who don’t follow me on Facebook or Instagram, I apologize that you’re missing out.…

  • Some babbling, some weak sales attempts, and a daunting realization that smurfs always have blue balls

    •

    jim

    We bear witness to each day unfolding from the previous encounter into the next, and some never gain the perspective that leads to the insights necessary to break free from this mold and experience the freedom of life in its purest form. That is one of the tugging forces pulling at me with each…

  • You Can’t Love Her Like This That

    jim

    As promised (although late), here is the cover for the upcoming poetry collection I am releasing in April called You Can’t Love Her Like This That: You Can’t Love Her Like This That is a searing poetry collection that bears witness to the intertwined fates of two addicted lovers who could neither save each…

  • the wonder of it all

    I find in the silence peace and in the chaos release. From the bottom, I have had to crawl like a beggar through the urban sprawl. They sing from the streets poetry with rough, dirty beats, an anger unsatisfiable with every ounce of it justifiable. It’s hard to fathom that their false teachings have…

  • the complex relationship we develop with this dance called life

    •

    jim

    The complexity that replaces the simplicity is a steady reminder that what was will never again be as it was. Some days will be pleasure-filled. Other days will be sheer hell. yet, not a single day will have an extra parachute lying around, allowing you to bail out. this is your shit, man up…

    If we want not, we shall never get. If we desire more, we will never be worthy enough. If we push the limits, we will rot in a cage. If we allow them to walk over us, we will be nothing more than a stain on the concrete. But somewhere between each extreme there…

  • Chaotic Rhythm of Heartbeat

    •

    jim

    We suffer in the solitude like we are soldiers. We are seated silently surrounded by some sinister players. We wish we were even a fraction as confident as we portray with our poker face wisdom. We struggle through the motions like monsters. We suffer in the silence of selfless prayers unanswered by a selfish…

  • The fates of circumstance

    •

    jim

    I fall behind. I have fell behind trying to balance life with recovery. I have stumbled juggling responsibilities with dreams, often times dropping the ball on both. I have set my expectations higher than attainable, but I have no regrets. I have lived hard, worked hard, loved hard, my successes have been as epic…

We wish we were even a fraction as confident as we portray, with our poker-face wisdom.We struggle through the motions like monsters subsequently suffering in the silence ofselfless prayers unanswered by a selfish deity while we stretch and kick to…

    jim

    Well, the release date of January 13th didn’t quite come and go as planned. Amazing how life can find these last minute ways to shit on my plans. The ebook was released a day or two later. It is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Curios. The paperback and hardcover editions are going…

  • Swallowed in tide, devoured in stride

    •

    jim

    Some days truly feel so overwhelming that the only way to describe the endless anxiety is the cliche of I’m drowning! Other days despite your best efforts out forth, it just feels like you’re being beaten down each step you make. I’d describe my life as a cocktail of both of these delights with…
