Arms of Chaos

In the past, is where I dwell
where our love lives again
In the fanasty relax, is where I dwell
Safe and on going is love
Never was it stolen or disfigured

The love child of Time and Forever
was given the name "Death"

Shuffle
Stacked
Dishearted
Maxed
Forever as in the knights of the night sky
Defenders of nightmares
Killers of pure dreams


It was all of the obstacles that kept me so true to you

In quite spaces, I see time as it is
When i feflect back,
I beg for the time back in front of the mirror

The bitterness of the past seems hard pressed to just let me be
When I find a open window,
I hear mirrors breaking

I wish to filter me away so i might awaken without
that song of you playing in my ears
Remove the years?
I still have my eyes and heart to deal with

I always seem to search for perfection in
the arms of chaos

Youth is

Broken tablets
now
along the river of sand
Can we feel the faith that once was
in IsIs temples
Ancient priests
and kings built time
Immortal structures broken backs
Crippled subjects ideas pure
that will never die a day
Religion is not forever but the appeal
of youth is

About me

I guess I should really take the time to give everyone some info on me and what it is I do.

I was born and raised in a upper middle class home in Orange County California. My mother was born in Mississippi and was a flight attendant when she met my father. My father was born in Hawaii and was a Marnie flying back to his base in El Toro California when he took notice of my mother on his flight.
Four years later I was born.
Growing up I was spoon fed folk music by my mother. By the age of 5, I could sing word for word, song from Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Kingston Trio, and Bob Denver. My mother was a book lover who shared her love of books like Lord of the Rings with me.

My father was more into watching some of the old time TV shows that aired on the local channels. So I was exposed to the Rat Pack movies and shows at a early age. He also enjoyed watching the Carson Classic show. So by age 7, Johnny Carson became my first idol.

My parents split up after I turned 9 and my mother, my sister, and I moved to the next town over and began a new life.
It was durning this time when I first became aware that I could make people laugh with my catlog of Johnny Carson skits. I also began writing poetry and short stories as a way of dealing with my parents divorce.

When I turned 13, my mother sent me to live with my dad. It was a terrible time. My father and I just could not get along and because of that I turned heavily towards music and the arts. It was also a time that I began to get heavily into drugs and the counter culture of Orange County.
Hippies, rockers, the outcasts became my friends as I cruised around trying to find who I was in a strange world of hormones, peer pressure, and fools.

By 14 I was heavily into drugs. Saying I was stoned everyday does not begin to touch the surface. All of my friend's older brother/sisters or even their parents had drugs and were more than willing to share them with me. It was one night that I had snuck out of my dad's house and was high as a kite that my friend's older brother, Randy exposed me to a certain band called Metallica. I had never heard words like that in my life! Just pure fuckin rage at a fast pace that blew my mind.! I spent the rest of the night jamming out to every CD he had by Metallica. I just could not get enough of it.
The next day, I began writing words inspired by Metallica which led to me writing songs for my friend's bands.
I was  living the rock and roll lifestyle. Drugs, booze, and sex! Lines of coke for breakfast followed by whatever else I could get my hands on.

After I turned 18, I was over at my friend, Scott's house jamming out when in walked his mother with this strange looking guys. He turned out to be Jim Morrison's brother. I listened to this guy tell all sorts of stories about Jim ( I wasnt a Doors fan at that point) when they were kids. After he left, Scott's mom started playing some Dorrs stuff and I went into a trance. The next day, I bought every Doors cd and instanly became a fan.
A few weeks later, Scott's mom gave me a few books of Jim's poetry that she bought at the book store( I still have them) and thats when I became a full time poet. Jim Morrsion's poems really fucked me up. I had never thought words could be used in that way before. It changed the way I looked at writing and how it could and should be done. You rarely saw me without a notebook and a pen.
I would be at a huge party in the Hollywood hills, fucked up beyond reason, writing poetry in the middle of everything.

Eventually, I got out of drugs. Just couldnt handle my high anymore. It was around that time that I got into the comic book scene. Something about super heros appealed to me and I began creating my own stories. I even had a few published by a very small comic book company. I also began to think that I just might fullfill a childhood dream of writing movies.

I moved to the coast of Mississippi shortly after. Not long after I arrived I got a hold of a movie that yet again, changed everything for me. The movie was The Crow.  I cannot begin to tell you the impact that movie had on my mind. Death, revenge, and love. From that point till now, I strive to write something as epic as that. Love....... became my new drug because of that film and just how deep it can truly go.

Here we are now. I am now involved with indie film making with a good friend and a great company, Weather Art. The insane drive and talent that come from the people inside of Weather Art will drop a season pro to his knees. But the most important part is they all love what they do and the the films that we are working on will blow you all away.

So here we are in the now and things are looking very good.
Im healthy, I have a group of friends that love and adore me, and Im doing something that I love and was born to do.
And I have so many stories to tell my friends. I look forward to sharing them with you all through the wonderful art of film.
Learning, Change, Healing, Forgiveness
