    About this ebook

    Everyone has dark times, an event in their life that triggers an emotion that requires healing. People deal with things in many ways, some drink, some take drugs, some portray anger and inflict pain on others and sometimes themselves. For me, it’s a pen and paper and quiet time to reflect on my feelings, releasing them in the form of poetry. This is a collection of my work, inspired by my journey and challenges throughout my life.
    An insight into the innermost, deepest part of me!

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      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.
