Avens O'Brien, the jaded idealist living under the alias Nightingale. You know the story, phoenix references revisted... burned and reborn.
Things to know about me:
I dream of making myself matter.
I wear a wedding ring. I'm married to a dream, a hope, a wish, a possibility. I'm married to my greatest passion.
I love words. I love communication.
I write everywhere, about everything and on anything. I LOVE to write. I've been keeping record of some of my poems, the ones I deemed "publishable" since 2003 - I began writing in January of 2003 after some inspiration from the friend who later became my Luv. Much of my earlier poetry is about him, much of it is terrible, I was such a little hopelessly love-struck emo girl. (I'm still a little love-struck).
But reading my poetry from beginning to end, there's an evolution - this is the record of my journey from girl to woman - from someone with no direction to someone with plenty of it. My poetry was a saving grace for a long time, and I was so in need to write it didn't matter how bad it was. My poetry is now more deliberate, more determined, better written, practiced, a skill developed through years of mediocrity.
