    About this ebook

    As an avid traveler and educator, I have had the opportunity to meet and interact with various individuals from countries across the globe. The most intriguing stories, experiences and anecdotes that I have encountered are the ones from females. Here, hopes, dreams, successes, failures, regrets, passions, tragedies, and triumphs, were conveyed with such unadulterated fervor, that upon reflection, I felt that in some way they are worth sharing. Thus, my thoughts began to center on how to bring these stories to life.
    This book is a compilation of some of these stories being brought to life in the form of poetry. Although these poems are loosely based on actual events in the life of the woman/girl, they are imbued with a moderate sprinkling of my personal interpretation of what I have heard and seen. Included are elements drawn from North American and Europe; to the beautiful islands of the West Indies and the Great Pacific enclave. This book is certainly not intended for therapeutic use, but one for reflection, celebration, understanding and perhaps, healing.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      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.
