History major, reader, want to be an artist or writer (or both) when I grow up. I like going to Disney World with my extended family. I like to listen to The Beatles, The Moody Blues and older David Bowie. And Cleveland rocks.

BREAKING: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents โ€” who were posing as business executives โ€” win government contracts.

Today's Blue Jays game ended so badly, but I'm looking on the bright side and cherishing the fact that my main man Gausman ate the best team in baseball for breakfast for seven innings straight. #BlueJays #LightsUpLetsGo

I have a movie from 1948 called Whiplash on the TV just cuz, and I love the jacket the main guy, Dane Clark, is wearing, as well as this all-black apparel from the leading lady, Alexis Smith, when we first meet her.

Tell this kid as he watched A New Hope in the cinema in Salisbury in 1978 -that heโ€™d stand in front of an X Wing & be a part of the Star Wars pantheon.
Even if Star Wars is not your thing, this story as we ride towards Rogue One, tells us so much about who we are & the world we live in.

Texas Republicans just voted to gerrymander based on race, aiming to silence powerful voices like Rep. Jasmine Crockett and others.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Gavin Newsom, Hochul, Pritzker and other Dem governors are stepping up.

We need to hit back hard.

Oh come on, stop talking nonsense. Under Obama, Russia occupied part of Georgia, Putin seized Crimea โ€” and Obama refused to send aid to Ukraine, calling it โ€œnot in Americaโ€™s interest.โ€ He made deals with Putin that kept Assad in power in Syria. Donโ€™t forget history.

A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.

UPDATE! ๐ŸŒน๐ŸŽ‰

I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99

Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

โ€œTrembling Sparkโ€ is about finding fragile hope amid deep pain and struggle. Itโ€™s for anyone feeling broken but still fighting to rise. A reminder that even in weakness, a fierce fire can burn within.

Trembling Spark-
A tremble threads through quiet bones unseen,
An echo of a voice that fades to air.
No hands to catch the fall, no light between
The narrow walls where shadows lay their snare.

Each step, a burden steeped in brittle glass,
Each breath, a wager placed against the end.
The weight of every promise left to pass,
The pull of every wound that will not mend.

Yet in the hollow ache, a spark remains,
A whisper clawing up from dust and stone.
Though brittle sinews strain beneath the chains,
It murmurs, โ€œRise, you will not stand alone.โ€

For in the weakness dwells the fiercest fire,
A broken heart that never lost desire.

โ€œOut Hereโ€ explores the solitude and freedom found away from the cityโ€™s confines. Itโ€™s for anyone seeking space to breathe, to run from their past, yet facing the harsh truths that follow.

Out Here-
Out here, the sky stretches wider than sin,
The wind whispers truths the city wonโ€™t dare,
Fields roll like secrets tucked under my skin,
No walls to confine me, no judgment to bear.

Out here, the roads fade to dust and to doubt,
Each mile a memory Iโ€™m trying to lose,
The stars watch in silence, their light bleeding out,
Theyโ€™ve seen all the lies a man learns to use.

Out here, Iโ€™m untethered, unbound, and alone,
The echoes of footsteps too distant to blame,
But freedomโ€™s a ghost with a heart made of stone,
A mirror that whispers my cowardice name.

Out here, I keep running, the air thin and clear,
As if I can outrun whatโ€™s already here.

Years Agoโ€ reflects on a past love that once burned bright but faded with time. Itโ€™s for anyone carrying the bittersweet ache of memories that no longer sustain but still linger.

Years Ago- 
Years ago, we were us, a flame alight,
Burning through nights that never seemed to end.
Your laughter was a song, pure and bright,
Each moment felt like we could always bend

The world to match the dreams we held so close,
Two hearts that burned with nothing left to lose.
We danced beneath the stars, defying ghosts,
As if our love could chase away the blues.

But time is cruel, it turns the heart to stone,
The years have stolen what we once had pure.
Now shadows stretch where light was once our own,
And empty streets recall a love unsure.

Years ago, we were us, now dust remainsโ€”
A fleeting dream, a love that couldnโ€™t sustain.

This Was My Last Oneโ€ captures the struggle between giving up and finding renewed strength. Itโ€™s for anyone whoโ€™s felt at the edge but discovered a reason to keep going despite the weight they carry.

This Was My Last One-
This was my last one, or so I thought,
The final breath that left me cold.
I gave my all, but what I sought
Slipped through my fingers, hard to hold.

The end seemed near, a quiet call,
But something stirred deep in my chest.
A spark, a flicker, not gone at all,
A reason to stay, a place to rest.

I left my past in shadowsโ€™ grasp,
But still, the echoes chase me down.
The weight I carry, all I clasp,
Tells me Iโ€™m not yet to drown.

So here I stand, though itโ€™s enoughโ€”
This was my last oneโ€ฆ but not enough.

The world keeps turning while we hold onโ€”between pain and hope. These poems are for the worn and the alive, for the raw edges and quiet strength. Youโ€™re not alone. Letโ€™s sit with this together. ๐Ÿ’™
