• Are You There God? It’s Me, Sydney.

    To Be Well-Fed

    To Be Well-Read

    To Be Well-Said


    I do not even know if I should call the above a poem or me just trying to be funny-style with rhymes. Me paraphrasing (badly quoting) Langston Hughes:

    I’m not here to do tricks with rhymes, I want to change the world.

    Well Mr. Hughes I just did both, so have-at-cha.


    Strange Tithes

    Are You There God? It’s Me, Sydney.

    Could I bug you for a kidney?

    Or how bout’ two-fifty?

    By all means, keep the change.

    You yourself know, that the collection plate and I are very much estranged.

  • I’ll Find You, Even in the Dark

    I write because it is how I translate the world into something I can understand. But more importantly, it is how I talk to God and how He talks to me. I have always been drawn to art ever since I was young. The appeal of art comes from the fact that you are pulling from something only you can see. When other people interpret your art, could it get lost in translation? Perhaps. But to be a great artist, you must keep an open heart, but a closed one between you and your Source. To close out the month of June, and my one-year anniversary of being a writer, I want to share a poem I wrote yesterday, on again, love.


    I’ll Find You, Even In The Dark

    I'll find you, even in the dark
    As punishment for loving you
    Amongst a night with no stars
    Amongst a crowd with no faces
    Amongst a start with no end
    As punishment for loving you
    I'll find you, even in the dark

    I'll find you, even in the dark
    As punishment for loving you
    Against a fall without a rise
    Against a death without a birth
    Against a body without a soul
    As punishment for loving you
    I'll find you, even in the dark

    I'll find you, even in the dark
    As punishment for loving you
    Always with courage withstanding fear
    Always with hope withstanding doubt
    Always with devotion withstanding rejection
    As punishment for loving you
    I'll find you, even in the dark

    Because amongst everything, and against everything
    You will always be the light of my life!
