    About this ebook

    A playful collection of poems inspired by love, light, hope and romance. I am a man of God and have been writing poetry ever since I was filled with his love. I found the very core of myself and that is romance. I find poetry to be the most beautiful way to say anything and using my imagination with words is a wonderful pleasure. I hope these poems make you smile, ponder, and bring you positivity in life.
