    About this ebook

    In a world where our hearts are lined with a barrier made of the non-existence of expressions so meaningful that locks our true emotions inside, the contrast is the thick lines between our emotion on the outside. Juan-Martin Ridgeway brings you his observations from along side the barrier looking in.

    Juan-Martin Ridgeway

    I was sixteen the first time I wrote a poem, and It was a big deal for me. It wasn't until then that I didn't feel like I was always under some kind of unknown pressure. With my mother always slapping me in the mouth every time I said something she thought was stupid along with telling me to shut up and that I needed to think before I spoke, I eventually started to hold everything in. It had been eight years since I stopped speaking my mind and something needed to happen. I still can't explain it, but I do remember the amount of pressure I felt lifted off of me when I started writing. My first few years of writing were mostly me exhausting my anger. Then when I moved out of the house and started to feel independent, I finally started to feel comfortable acting like my own person. I stopped writing for years, but I recently started again and it feels even better than I remember. I feel like I am constantly maturing as a writer. I can feel it getting easier to express how I feel through writing. Looking back at myself as a writer I see an amazing difference between when I started, and where I am now. I consider this difference to be journey. I am proud to announce that I just started a series of poetry books called Where Fine Lines Exist and am extremely exited to show my writing to the world.

      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.

      If I were subtlety, where would I slither in a world of only swing and impact?

      If I were suspense, where would I blossom in a world of only act and react?

      If I were change, where would I stand in a world of only one state?

      If I were a moment, where would I be noticed in a world of only time and space?

      If I were a shade of grey, where would I lay in a world of only contrast?

      If I were a fine line, where would I exist in a world of no hearts?

      24385.jpg24592.jpg

      April Wind

      Right before my faith in love escaped

      I saw your beautiful face.

      When you said a word I heard a chord

      and a note I didn’t know I was waiting for.
