Poetry

Update: A Silent Warmth (formerly known as Chimerical until I settled on a title) is now posted.

This is where I collect and keep all the poetry I’ve written. I’m pretty sure I have almost every poem I ever wrote dating back to middle school in here. Which is kind of scary.

Some of the poems are kept in collections, some aren’t. Just browse around.

Enjoy.

Miscellaneous Poems - A few poems that don’t quite fall under any collection:
“The Duck” - Written during high school
“-Oops”
 - written during Then (but not a part of)
“Phoenix” - after And After but before Breaking
“Shadows”
-Home, writing
Above the clouds - at the end of Fallen (but not a part of)
At dusk
I exist - after A Silent Warmth
To think that everyday
I’ve slipped softly
Fog is an entity
I fall in love 
Sleep, rest easy
They said nature
do you exist

ps The collection Chicago is a short collection of poems I wrote while in the city of Chicago for a conducting convention. I felt obligated to provide some context since I never made a background post/link.
