I strung together the words and feelings that resonated deep within me, from time to time, to end up with this anthology. Poetry has the guts to speak of the words, that can never be spoken. Poetry is honest, being the shimmering light that condemns and rises over all of the fabricated lies. Poetry fights and gives love the respect and adoration, it deserves.



I believe that, if it weren't for poetry, there would be nothing that appreciated the art and beauty that remains in this world. Love, which is not felt deeply is a disgrace to the fairytale that love is. From first kisses to parting with death, emotions calibrate to different degrees and we fail to glorify the rawness in each emotion, as we watch them slide away unacknowledged from our fast moving lives.



Pain - Have a knife shoved down your throat and feel every inch of pain suffocate you, as you bleed.



Love - Put the world on hold, fall back into the moment and feel the slightest of nuances in slow motion.



This is more of a happy book with its elements of sadness. I hope you love reading it as much I loved writing it. Cheers x
