    About this ebook

    *Formatting updated for smart phone usage*

    The year is 2009- I have graduated from College with a Multi Disciplinary degree in Art and Mass Communications, and for the first time in my life I have known the miracle of falling in love. It was a summer I will never forget as I struggled to find my way into the world, to find true meaning within myself and from others. These poems are echoes of such times, as they weave the tale of trust, passion, friendship and despair through a very delicate and harsh beginning of my life.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      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.
