I collected these poems during a time, when love struck me a fatal blow and I lost somebody to death who had meant everything to me. I was able to gain strength from words, written by people, most of whom are long gone. You will soon notice that most poems are dedicated to that most powerful of all forces in the universe - LOVE . Love is the driving factor, the light of day and often the source which brings on the most cruel pain we feel deep within our hearts. Love has brought light to the blackest of souls and shed darkness on the brightest of days.
Love is the driving factor, yet can be the ultimate force of destruction.
We enjoy it, crave it, pleasure it, and fear it. It brings hope, joy, warmth, and yet it inflicts pain like nothing else. Love is what turns this world, makes flowers grow and fills our hearts with joy. Here is my favorite Poem , for it gave the author a way to express the immeasurable heartache and pain he felt over a loss that changed his life. These few simple lines hit very close to home when I first read them.
