    About this ebook

    Poet Leah Ward finds inspiration in nature and the world around her. That inspiration is translated into words via this contemporary collection of eclectic poetry. The Art of Words offers a view of the world through one womans eyes, with rhythmic verse that touches every corner of the human condition.
    Her poetry explores witty concepts, the natural beauty of the world, and a wide range of emotions, often containing puns, plays on words, and personification. She considers love, heartache, loneliness, happiness, betrayal, and judgment.
    Ward speaks of love only found in dreams and of nature and how it affects usand how we affect nature. She brings the full spectrum to the forefront in her debut poetry collection and encourages us to examine the world we live in through a poets perspective.
    Dreams and the Heart

    Dreams and the Heart,
    Go hand in hand.
    One leads to the other,
    And back again.
    The heart feels,
    What a dream captivates
    True happiness,
    Until one awakes.
    The heart holds treasures,
    That dreams try to explore.
    Staying asleep,
    Long as possible craving for more.
    More time is what the heart,
    Begs to the dream.
    More time is all
    That the heart really needs.

      The Art of Words - Leah Ward

      Love Is Frightening

      Mass confusion starts to aspire

      Chaos breaks out

      And your heart begs for its desire.

      The desire is you

      And everything surrounding.

      The desire is love

      A love so astounding,

      That now your heart

      Is pulling ahead

      In the race to convince you

      To ignore what your brain has said.

      Your heart screams

      Out loud: be with who you want

      Love who you please

      Cherish as much as you can

      Be humble, gentle, and try to understand

      That life’s too short

      To waste,

      On being

      Afraid.

      Dreams and the Heart

      Dreams and the Heart,

      Go hand in hand.

      One leads to the other,

      And back again.

      The heart feels,

      What a dream captivates

      True happiness,

      Until one awakes.

      The heart holds treasures,

      That dreams try to explore.

      Staying asleep,

      Long as possible craving for more.

      More time is what the heart,

      Begs to the dream.

      More time is all

      That the heart really needs.

      One day though,

      The heart made a friend.

      No, not Dreams,

      But someone more like him.

      Someone special,

      Named Heart too.

      Oh the joys and love,

      That flowed through.

      The two of them together,

      Put dreams to shame.

      With true love,

      Being the one to blame.

      Now things are different,

      Very different than before.

      The heart doesn’t need,

      The dreams anymore.

      Instead it begs,

      To stay awake.

      For as long as possible,

      As to never separate.

      Because now the only thing,

      That gets in the way,

      Is what the heart,

      Needed so bad in the first place.

      Two halves

      Bonded by the seams,

      Two hearts in love

      Hand in hand, as if in a dream.

      I Don’t Want to Pack

      I don’t want to pack

      I just want to run,

      Right now, this very second

      Leave everything undone.

      I don’t want to think

      I don’t want to plan.

      Nothing with us,

      Just hand in hand.

      Hit the road in a heartbeat

      With no destination,

      How fast can we run,

      With no hesitation.

      We can travel as far

      As your imagination can

      From the snow top mountains

      To the desert sand.

      Doesn’t matter where we go

      Cause no one will know,

      We’ll draw our names in a heart

      And leave it as our note.

      Anyone else in love

      Will surely comprehend

      What it feels like

      To be on this end.

      So have no worries, and have no cares.

      The world awaits us, don’t be scared.

      Adventure can be the color,

      Of our love story.

      Then maybe others in love

      Will learn that sometimes,

      You need to draw outside the lines.

      The Candle of Life

      Complicated is the one word

      Which sums up life.

      When I’ve always hoped

      For simplicity and light.

      Love is like a candle

      Lit by the heart.

      It burns easy for a while

      Then the complications start.

      Trials are like the wind

      Blowing at your flame.

      It’s easy to go out

      And hard to begin again.

      A true lover and companion

      Is quite like the hand.

      They surround your heart

      So your flame will withstand.

      They protect you

      As best as they can.

      Even if it means

      Burning their own hand.

      Life is like the
