I've really enjoyed gathering the words and poems for this book resurrecting memories through the written word is always indescribably rewarding and often therapeutic. Love, sorrows, uncertainties and regrets are all ingredients to this mortar vulnerability as well as a clarity of mind sets its stones. I've been told that my poetry seem to have an edge of sadnessA[a¬A]to those I say "Introspective thought has been my constant companion." It's important for me to be conscious of the sunlight as well as the shadows. I find no joy in a perfunctory smile.This book is a copulation of my favorite poems to date. In these pages you will find meA[a¬A]I hope you enjoy the book.
