Toxic Masculinity is Killing Men, literally
What do you think of when you hear the word “man”? What kinds of images does it produce, what expectations, what preconceived notions. We have heard it all before “A man is someone who works blue collar or earns his money through the sweat of his brow.” or also “You can’t be a real man without the body of a real man”. Also we hear “Men should be leaders and heads of the house, and should be providers.”. (DISCLAIMER: I am expressing things that I have heard said about men, these statements do not necessarily represent my own personal beliefs on how a man should act. Furthermore, what is about to follow is not a fact for every single man, or even necessarily most men. What follows is simply a call to bring awareness to the very real and very important topic of men’s mental health.) Or how about this one, the classic, the ultimate measure of a man: “Real men don’t cry.” WHAT?!? Real men don’t cry. Let’s talk about that.

In Darkness Is Purity
Please. Help me. I am lost, I am found, I am not, yet I also am. These words are not some attempt at deep revelations of oneself, but rather words I have spoken to myself. The following two poems of mine are some of my most emotionally raw and real poems. While they may seem unconventional, give them a read, more than once, and see if you discover something about yourself in the words. And so we begin with The Souls of Us....

The Passion of Poetry
When people talk about passion, what exactly are they talking about? Passion can mean many different things to many different people. For instance, take passion for a hobby or a craft. Or perhaps passion in love with the one whom you can’t bear to be without. And of course there is passion in war, a sense of unbridled patriotism and fervor for the motherland. This means that there is no one singular definition for the word passion. Passion is simply what drives you forward. At its core it is the force by which all things move individually and collectively. For me, that driving force is without a doubt poetry.

The Singing of Summer
The tweeting of a bird....no, not that blue icon for the platform geared and driven by hate, racism, and fake news. The bird is found in the forest, high above the world in the mountains, high up in the trees of strong and glorious pines or soft and swaying maples. Lilacs and daisies prance their dance and sing with the bird ever so softly as the movements of the wind bring to them a sound of pure joy and ecstasy. Such peaceful bliss I find in the summertime mountains. Such resounding and infinite bliss, such erotic spiritual awakening I find within myself, pleasuring not my flesh but the very core of my soul. Published are the works of many a great poet, storyteller, artist, musician but the greatest song to never be recorded in it's full beauty is truly the song that nature sings as winter fades, spring germinates the seeds of life, and summer resurrects the dead hope that we have lost in the cold months before. The song of the bird starts this melody and begins the great concerto of summer, but it is only the opening voice of this sweet lyrical hymn of Summer.
