Where Secrets Are Kept (sample)

This is the poetry book for you-the person who finds themselves alone, hiding behind a mask of who they used to be, and unable to speak the truth, so heavy, it falls back down your throat. This is for you.

Where Secrets Are Kept explores the dark side of love in which the repercussions are not only a broken heart. These poems explore the lessons lived and learned by myself and the women closest to me. These poems are not just our words, they are our confession. They are our truth.

"There are only three places
where secrets are kept;
the first is in the heart,
the second is in the mind,
and the third is in the skin.

For what is the purpose of a secret
but to be a place to hide?"

SAMPLE of published collection available on amazon & in select stores.
