    About this ebook

    Many things happen in our lives that are hard to express, mostly because we will not admit our own feelings. The poet has this ability, to express feelings in words, and in so doing helps us all to realize what things mean to us. And some poems are just a commentary on things observed, a unique way of experiencing something. Many enjoy poetry because it gives expression to feelings that they have had, but have been unable to put into words. These poems all come from people I have met, events observed, or my feelings about things.
    Life has a way of pointing us in one direction, then forcing a change of course before we want one. Poetry can help to relieve the frustration of these events, or help to celebrate good times and feelings. These poems are not meant to carry great philosophical weight, just to provide relief or enjoyment for the reader.

      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.
