The poems of this book reflect the principles of love, loss, and struggle. In a poignant, familiar way, they are coming to terms with human emotion. Their message is a snapshot of feelings expressed with self-awareness, captured within verses that are lyrical, intimate, and timeless. Like most everyone, I've loved and lost, lived to love again, then set yet another free. As a writer, I've always been drawn to the lexical, the interplay of words, imagery, and tone. One of the best things I've done in life is to come from the shadows and empty my heart, my soul-the essence of who I am-into the writing of a poem.
