Wild Thing
Released April 18th, 2025
I saw your pictures from Galway, halfway along your hike.
Onto to Israel, then to Tokyo, wherever the world calls your mind.
Then you came my way, I knew you couldn’t stay, but I promised to love you still.
I thought it was enough, but I saw your bluff;
A wild thing can’t fall in love, no a wild thing can’t stay in love.
I see you’re doing just fine after leaving us behind.
Onto life alone, keeping on your toes, a nomad without a home.
You walked away, I’m glad you didn’t stay, because my hearts better off now.
you never were enough, but I always was;
This woman knows how to love, you were never worth her love.
Now I’m doing just fine, hearts mended by the time.
I picked up the pieces, and broke even, and found my way back to life.
I walked away from the past we made to a woman strong and bright.
You never were enough, we were all enough before you.
But you’ll never grow up from the boy who lost love,
To be a false God of broken hearts, and trust,
With a crown of blood and dust.
No a wild thing, wild thing, a wild thing doesn’t know true love.
No, a wild thing couldn’t capture love.
No wild thing can’t fall in love.
Headstone
Released August 6th 2025
Barefoot Angel, wisp on the wind,
A compass for your heart when you’ve lost where you’ve been.
Smooth, voiced, siren, seashell to your ear,
I’ll catch you in my hands just trust me, my dear.
An old town soul I found one day, though my eyes had known you before.
From hopeful hello to solemn goodbye, there grew something true and wild, wild, wild.
Take me to the coastline, let’s fade into monochrome black-and-white.
Hold my silhouette like a vagabond, resisting the call of the wind
I’ll kiss you as a lighthouse draws a sailor in.
Ever-so lost in uncertainty, when will this all make sense?
When loving someone sometimes you have to let them go.
To protect them from the demons that have chosen you for a host
A soldier returned home long ago, but the war followed him home
You’ve been lost since that night,
When the world began to crumble all around your light.
Hold onto what we had, these memories are yours to keep.
My heart may be broken, but you shouldn’t be, go on and find your peace.
I know you’re scared, but won’t admit,
I know that you pray, but can’t let me in.
take care of your trials and I will mine,
the fork in the roads in sight.
you say you’re leaving, but you’re already gone;
Here I go on my own,
here lies our headstone.
Barefoot angel, wisp on the wind
A compass for your heart when you’ve lost where you’ve been
Smooth voiced siren, seashell to your ear
I’ll catch you in my hands, just trust me my dear
When loving someone sometimes you have to let them go
it never used to be like this…
A spoken word poem from my book “Wandering Love” released in 2020
there was a time that I was brave
brave when waking up, brave when speaking out
brave when approached with love
I cannot wish for it because it means a potential broken heart
I'm not ready for it but I continue to dream and pursue until
the very second it looks back at me and I cower
I become a coward
cupid could so much become a demon that instead
pierces your heart with shards of broken pieces you will become
it is inevitable
heartbreak will come
it doesn't matter where from
so long as life gets to experience your pain on it's timeline
you have ruined my heart
I'd always believed that I'd had walls protecting it
but this heart didn't know brick and mortar
until you were welcomed over the threshold of my soul
and tore me apart from the inside out
the walls are bloodied red like a raw wound
you killed the woman I was and in her place there is me
a terrified, lost, pain-riddled woman
but I am brave in my hope
I am intelligent to take note of your sickness
and keep my eyes open
you may have left your dirty fingerprints
all over that girls corpse for the coroner to find
but soon
this woman will be wiped clean
of you
A Story to Tell
From my upcoming EP “Sincerely”
I used to be good at storytelling
Smooth off the tongue, straight off my mind.
Always perfect the first time, no need for a rewrite.
Somehow life just got in the way;
Heartbreak too harsh for a soft soul to take.
CHORUS
Oh, then, darling, I met you, won’t you walk on with me?
Give me a story to tell, give me a story to tell
One October I pulled up in my Dodge
Asked for a job, and they took me on the spot
A few weeks ago, you appeared and caught my eyes
all your hay covered Carhartt, rumors of forearms
*CHORUS*
A few months down the line,
I was yours and you mine.
My toothbrush has a place
With my guitars and my lace.
Now a couple years down,
We bought a house and I took your name.
And I wouldn’t change the heartaches for a thing.
*CHORUS*
Blue Collar Bones
From my upcoming EP “Sincerely”
VERSE
I’ve just finished the laundry now I’m workin on supper
eyes on the clock and out the windowsill
you work such long hours will you slow down someday
you thrive in the work but your hearts home with me
PRE-CHORUS
what a longing, what a wanting
you know how I love you, life doesn’t make sense without you
CHORUS
your blue collar bones, your forest green thumbs
we didn’t build the house but we sure made it a home
I’ll spend this existence making it known
the early rise, the late nights, the sacrifice
my sun doesn’t set till you lie by my side
VERSE
You swear you’d work a third job if it came down to it
a roof and you, forever the constants
PRE-CHORUS
what a bittersweet, love-laced routine
there’s not a single doubt within me, against the solid foundation we’re laying
*CHORUS*
BRIRGE
your blue collar bones the places my kiss shall rest upon
leave your boots by the front door, let all your stress fall to the floor
*CHORUS*
WARNING
From my upcoming EP “Sincerely”
We bring you this broadcast
to advise of the following warning (declaration)
to those who perpetrate (bystand)
the violation of another human being
We are our own, as you are yours.
Leave us to our autonomy, our sacred boundaries,
the human decency which we are deserving.
Off with the hands of those who wish to maim.
Off with the hands of those who wish to take advantage.
Off with the hands of those who scheme to manipulate.
Off with the hands of those who take without permission.
OFF WITH HIS HANDS
FOR HE SHALL NEVER KNOW PEACE AGAIN.
Off With His Hands
Released June 17th, 2025
He saw it now you write your death warrant
With the hands you put on me
He saw it, my body, your crime;
Brainless desecration of a sacred wife.
It doesn’t matter, but didn’t you see my ring?
You’ve insulted me, worse, you crossed my king.
If I had the choice or the power
Of judge, jury, executioner
You know, you know
*CHORUS*
Off with your hands and think about why you lost them
Watch close as your mortality drains quick for how you wasted it
On foolish impulse, selfish desire,
in another world I would reign hellfire
but I’m no God, I am woman.
Karma I trust will teach you my lesson
I felt it, the first glance unwanted
Undesired, just a minor
I felt it, at the turn of 18, pumping gas
I’ll tell you all they’d see was
eye candy selling them cigarettes and scratch offs
Not candy down the aisle
But it doesn’t matter to them, it doesn’t matter
As the years pass, all I can say
Slight of hand devils keep getting away
*CHORUS*
We see it, your shameless eyes;
Caught like a doe in daylight.
*CHORUS*
untouched
A spoken word poem from my book “Wandering Love” released in 2020
it is said
that in seven years time
my skin will be anew with cells
that have never been touched by your own
so by then
the pain will shed away
from every
layer
of me
