I am pleased to announce to you the release of the first teaser of my new collection of poems and prose which will be released in May 2018.

Since we're only a few months away from the book release, I needed to share this with you. I will also be doing a cover and the title reveal in the following weeks. Yay!



A PAWN

She dances in the sheets at night
pleasing souls until the crack of dawn,
treated as a slave, a simple pawn
she lives in the slums, all on her own.

She can't stop this vicious chain,
she tried and failed on and on;
no words left, nor pride or shame,
just self-control, no dreams of fame.

Laying down each night in a bed of lies
of dead hopes, dreams and silent cries,
being called different names, never her own
she's never been anything else but a pawn.
