    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of poems Rachel Bernard has written in the last 25 years. The poems depict the highs, lows and conflicting temperaments of those years. The many individuals she has met and interacted with through the years inspired these pieces.

    I want to acknowledge the random, hapless, senseless condition of a heart in lovea state equally tumultuous and chaotic as it is serene and secure in the notion that there is a heart loving it back. In love, the highs and peaks are rivaled by the pits and valleys. There is equal magnificence in the brilliance of love and the darkness of despair.

    Rachel Bernard

    Rachel Bernard lives in Southern California and is a full-fledged romantic who believes in having it all, the passion and the pain--love exhausting as it is sustaining. She credits her father for her fascination with writing and language while persistence and drive are values from her mother.

      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.

      If I call myself unlovable, I am, practically; if I say itenough times: unlovable. Then, like practical magic, I’m hollow as old garlic; I’m distance-skinned.I’m a long, mean package, a terror-dyke, a nag, a squinting, slut-spun hag—it’s easy, really
