When I was in the fifth grade in elementary school I wrote a story that was almost published in the school paper. Due to the lack of school funds that story was never published. Over the course of a few years I lost that story. It was hand written and computers were not as advanced then as they are now. My knowledge of them was simply only about video games at the time. My inner writer was gone for a few years until it was reawakened in high school. Again, I wrote a story that basically floored one of my English teachers. I also created book reports and other stories that she thought were downright amazing.
I never gave it all another thought as I just felt like it was all school work. However, a lot of things changed once I started college. It was in college that I was exposed to energy that was so negative and overwhelming. I was on the brink of committing suicide as I felt that it was too much to bare. Luckily for me, that energy awakened a tremendous sleeping writer/poet instead of it making me kill myself. I then began writing poems and attending open mic readings in many places around New York. I was even invited to be a guest speaker at a former English teacher's poetry class. Lots of audiences showed me that my poetry was indeed very unique. It was the many people asking me if I had a book that led me to chase the goal of publishing. One of my very gifted and talented English teachers even told me, "The poetry from everyone else seems to sound like a Hallmark card, but yours are very different." I soon found out just how different they really were.
I have sensed that the emotion flowing through my many poems are found to be interesting and entertaining to many people. It is the voice of the people who have asked me to publish that I am heeding with this book. It is the energy of: those who have past away who failed to tell a loved one their final words, the women who wished to get specific points across, the essence of the male spirit, the passion of love/romance, and the divine privilege of life from God that enabled me to channel it all through myself and into words.
With all that being said, I invite you to take a look into a world seen and described through my "poetic eyez."ver menos
