    About this ebook

    A Poet's Tone of Heart presents a collection of poetry that touches the heart and soul to the core. Author Answer-Pray Alcius has written verses on topics ranging from heroes returning from war to endless love to the relationships that create our world. He has composed forty-eight poems that offer insightful portrayals of the people we encounter and the events that are part of our lives.

    In "Wedding Ring," a simple object with a profound symbolism evokes a joyful heart, while another poem, "Let Me" ponders how to unlock someone's heart. The uniqueness of Alcius's poetry is the connection it has toward our hearts. A Poet's Tone of Heart portrays life experiences through unique poems that inspire deeply felt emotions.

    You are

    The poetry that can never be written,

    The metaphor that can never be understood.

    You are

    The instrument that can never be tuned,

    The notes that can never be composed.

    You are

    The seas that can never be sailed,

    The story that can never be told

    All attempts lead to failures.

    You are

    Wordless and beyond.

      Love Letters

      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.
