Open this book and read between the lines. Slip between the pages and enter my mind. Even I''m not sure what you''ll find. In every poem I have place an infinitesimal piece of my soul. I see everything in words. From every sight, every emotion, every experience. Words fill me, sing to me, console me and move me forward. My words may take you into the darkness where ominous thing await, but before long they will sweep you in the shadows, to contemplate the meaning of it all. then when you are at a crossroads, soft light may break through to embrace you. The journey is up to you. After you''ve read, you''ll breathe just a little sigh that you''re at the end. but beware my friend, words have a way of soaking in and hanging on. So enter if you dare...

When you think about love poetry, what do you imagine? That kamikaze hurtling, rapid dropping sensation in the pit of your stomach from first glance to first kiss? Those first aching, need filled moments of new love where every one of your senses are heightened, and you can’t imagine existence without that person? This is love for sure. But what about love in the mundane? Those moments you wouldn’t even think twice about? In the grocery store, or on the morning commute: when you least expect it. Or here’s a crazy thought, have you gazed into the bathroom mirror lately and thought, I love this person? Open these pages and let the words enter your mind, rumble around and nestle in to stay a while. Allow you to reminisce, rejoice or wonder. The poetry of love may be cheesy, but in action, love is poetry.
