This is what this is to you, because this is how I sing, how I paint, how I dance, how I live. It is freedom in the limitless space that allows words to unrestraint the self through slanted blacks, that became, become; people, places, and thoughts of my past present future. Feel the poems as photographs taken in a real and raw snap as the moment is captured. Through the years it has become a story of a meditation in love. Written without editing or re-reading to keep to its truth. These poems are a memoir/autobiography in words that are intuitive and immediate reactions to breaths taken and forgotten to take and never taken, and the broken sighs in between. We breathe in, and breathe out. The air and everything between these breathes are the experiences that materialize life; become words. Taking readers through travels, growth, spirituality and finally, finding the soul mate of this timeless existence; these are my insides turned outside.
