Expressions of the Heart

Poetry is the language of the heart and the heart expresses itself best when left free to explore its own methods of expression. This language, when well written or spoken, surpasses ordinary communication because it possesses no boundaries, is unbridled, and uses the heart as a catalyst. It can be forcefully beautiful.

The poems in this book were published, believing that even the humblest expressions of the heart, are worth reading. I attempted to use figurative language to create imagery and to unfold strong emotions and meanings, based on simplicity, as well as, complexity of form. The poems are about love, nature, spirituality, human aspirations, and loss.
