About Darren C Swartland

Bohemian type of poet who writes to express thoughts, emotions and how I am feeling regarding an issuse. I'm very much flawed in my own way; a christian who doesn't pretend to be perfect at all or who tries to judge or look down on others.

Our realness gives art beauty.

I try to incorporate struggles that people can relate to by my writing as well, to let them know they aren't alone and that in life it never rains forever.

    is the first thing to be formed
    within a womb as growth starts,
    remain in love and do not depart

    Tears avalanche down hills of cheeks
    while a voice is given hands to climb
    the penultimate summit in it's peak.

    Special is an understatement,
    it can't even tickle the fancy of
    gold used to form thee prong
    needed to hold a melodic song;

  • Unlocking Inner Peace

    I realized that nothing in life is ever going to be exactly how I actually imagined it and an idea come to mind, that if I can find happiness within my circumstance I will always be at peace with the outcome and that in itself leads the way to making the most of life.

    It's felt by hearts,
    Recognized by souls,
    In the presence of love.
