I live in Florida and I am a local dessert vendor called The Ice Queen. I started writing poetry in elementary school and never thought much about it. I think it has a lot to do with being a hopeless romantic and I'm hypersensitive to other people's emotions, circumstances, relationships and everything in between. I found out later while in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction that poetry was a huge part of my recovery. I used poetry to help express myself and put my thoughts to paper. I can't write on a whim like some. I found that my poetry is inspired by my surroundings and how they have impacted me at that moment. Poetry is such a blessing and a beautiful form of expression that I get to share with others.

You kissed my hurts and hugged my fears
Patched scars that I created.
Whether falling down or broken heart
Your...

What Was I Thinking

I never imagined that my thinking could kill
But getting sober helped to realize that I’m mentally ill.
Every decision I made, every choice I would face
Was based upon fear and never on faith.

I was told that my ability to choose what was best...

If Heaven Had a Telephone

If Heaven had a telephone
I'd call you everyday.
To check on you like I used to do
Before you went away.

Whether on my way to work
Or to the grocery store.
You were always just a call away
But now you are no more.

If Heaven had a...
