Never mind, I don’t know what to say Sometimes I write all day Or other days, I hardly scratch out two words Go ahead, write poetry! Oh my, you’re so good! Keep writing! But nobody ever tells you how it saps you And deprives of sleep No one mentions the ghosts that awaken And condemn […]

Death Plays a Quivering Chord
During the weekend, I put out a call for writing collaborations to pass the time during what’s been a fairly wet and somewhat dreary time of year. I haven’t done too many collabs (although that’s something I really wanted to change). Fortunately, I know a few good writers not only here but through my Instagram […]
WWW.
Before I get to the poetry, I’d like to share an assignment I had for my college spring semester: interviewing someone in my field to learn about the field and how to succeed in it. Of course, I had to many people to choose from, so I picked on that I’ve loved for a long […]
Let’s Collaborate!
Just wanted to say how excited I was to be interviewed by Ericka Arthur last week as part of her #WriterCrushWednesday feature. Taking the time to answer her questions was quite the pleasure. You can read the full interview here: https://authenticiteespeaks.com/2018/05/16/meet-poet-devereaux-frazier-an-aspergians-chemical-romance/ Back in February, I teamed up with the Brianna, daughter of the fabulous Michelle […]
Neither Writing Nor Rioting
Stop I’m talking to you Yes, the one who hasn’t said a word Who hasn’t raised his hand Hardly given the teacher a glance No, he’s not here. Not ever. He’s writing to a girl he hopes to meet From Ohio. Wisconsin. Or Massachusetts. Dreaming of a wonderful life together. Frolicking in the snow, and […]
Consummation of Words
People want writers To write about love As if it were trivial Sexy, seducing stanzas That make the reader wet with anticipation Or sultry psalms that paint two lovers In the epitome of embrace As if love can be put on And taken off Like a coat or tie If you can only have love […]
Words Collapse Boundaries Of Mind
Pour it out On the streets, into their homes Into the oceans, into their clothes Wash their brains, rinse the craniums These words are me And I am made of them Through pain and panic, they’ve built walls To the outside world that doesn’t accept me Through loss and longing, they’ve built roads To the […]
Session Two
It’s business This pain against you Ensnared in the Dream, no one Can rescue you The end is near And so very far away With every day you age You get younger Dumber Lifeless as a pen on a shelf Waiting to be made into the abstract Motionless inside half beating heart Comatose Living and […]
The Things I’m Not, We All Are
First things first I’m not a writer There’s nothing special about my profession Everyone writes everyday Even when they’re not thinking about it Communicating information is centuries old What makes me so bold To share it with the world Is the power and passion that flows Inside these veins, borne of a brain Taught to […]
Some Good, Some Bad, Mostly In Between
Hello WordPress. Coming to you in my (very awesome) Fall Out Boy Bomber Jacket (I’m not walking around with this on, it was just for this pic), I’ve been more or less tired as of late. Mentally more than physically.. the days have really started to become blurs. Maybe it’s just the season, just the cold, […]
