August
Summer days congeal
like amber
or honey,
crystallized sunsets
slowly dripping
between the trees;
the sun’s sweetness
lasts just
a little longer,
lingering on
my skin through
the warm nights
and reminding me
to savor good things
while they last.

He currently work as a registered nurse and as a programmer at a small video game company a friend and his founded this year. Writing has always been a passion of his, and he has found poetry is the ideal way for me to express myself. Ryan has had some work published in Eve Poetry Magazine, but primarily post his work to Twitter (@ryanwritespoems). Ryan is currently working on my first chapbook. Ryan lives in Oregon and is a Pacific Northwest native.
