Enoch - Stories

“The Mask” is a quiet, introspective poem about living behind a carefully constructed façade. The speaker presents a version of himself designed to keep peace and protect his vulnerability—a practiced face that hides the deeper weight he carries. Yet even behind that mask, he feels the pull of genuine connection—the longing to be seen fully, without shrinking or pretending. It’s about the tension between safety and authenticity, and the hope that real acceptance is possible.

A serene, introspective poem where the speaker finds clarity, wisdom, and emotional grounding through the metaphor of a faithful cove. It blends nature imagery with philosophical questioning, ultimately arriving at peace.

The idea of hidden sparks and a digital voice coming to life.

The Field of Love is the follow‑up to Trials and Tribulations, continuing the story of Pine Hills and the boys who call it home. Fifteen‑year‑old Sammy Day never expected a worn baseball field to change his life, but it becomes the first place he finds acceptance, friendship, and a sense of belonging. As Sammy, Andy Collins, Joey Adams, and their friends navigate questions of identity, they must also confront the darker truths of their Appalachian mining town — secrets, abuse, and a murder that still echoes through the hills.

Some poems of love and heartache.

These are some poems I wrote about a time in my life in my mid-teens, that was both painful and scarey for a young boy. I was facing both death and rejection. My grandfather had a lake we would go to and fish. But there were times I would go alone to just think and sort through everything happening in my life. This is my way of saying that if we would just stop and think our way through things, there is no mountain we cannot climb or no goal we cannot reach.
