    About this ebook

    This collection consists of thirty poems that relate the notion of love, loss, and hopelessness. The verses contained herein presents the struggle to find ourselves after a moment of despair threatens to engulf us; which is heartbreaking, yet something that binds us in our humanity despite our differences. It is our frailty that makes us human; and our strength to not give up when hope seems lost. We are not alone in our despair as we struggle and lay all things bare.

    Hi, I am from New York. I am an introvert, however I like to challenge myself (and go outside of my comfort zone). I have been writing for several years. I mainly write poetry, but have also written short works of fiction. I am a (non-practicing) licensed Funeral Director, and currently a teacher in a NYC public school. I grew up in a big family, and moved a lot during my younger years. I now have my own family, and love spending time with them.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
