This is a book of emotion. Emotions that I have felt, be it through my personal experiences, or through my characters in my stories or books I've read.

It wasn't meant to be a book of love. I suppose as love is my permanent state, my resting emotion, it couldn't be helped. Words that may never had romantic connotations attached to them, became stories of romance, longing, faith and despair.

Sometimes, I will use just a few words to tell my tales in poetry. This is intended. Other times it may feel like a poem is incomplete. This is also intended.

Poetry is a beautiful thing; filled with rules and structure and more critics than you can count. What I love about it, is that regardless of the rules, the last one is that there are none at all.

Not every line needs to bounce, or rhyme or even have correct grammar. Not everyone will enjoy your work, but SOMEBODY will.

I hope those people find these pages. I hope that someone hates my words as well, because that means I've struck SOMETHING.

Love or hate, I will never stop my writings.

Love or hate, I hope you tell me.

Now, go read some beautiful, forgotten words and see what they have inspired.
