    About this ebook

    "The Lion & The Rainbow" is a heartfelt book about love. Each poem represents a moment in Trisha's life as she falls in love with an amazing man. Trisha writes purely from the heart in this book with extraordinary emotion and deep connection. Trisha, after a lifetime of heartbreak and life-changing moments in love, was presented with a choice to leave everything behind and allow love into her heart just one more time. Trisha aims to restore hope into people's hearts with her poetry books which have struggled to give love another chance. Not only because life without love is unbearable but because everyone deserves to be happy and loved.

      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.

      A King will only

      be tamed

      by the strength

      of his Queen’s heart.

      All I wanted to feel was you near

      Your touch against mine

      Even just for a little time

      I just need to believe that some things are real...

      So if things are ever forgotten

      I will know I spent most of my time

      Smiling from ear to ear

      Just because you were always near...

      I am a predator!

      He whispered softly to me.

      Little did he know I too 

      hungered to be his only prey.

      Even on your darkest day,

      I will stand beside you.

      Through the shadows of your hardest times,

      I will stand beside you.

      In the deepest waters of your tearful thoughts,

      I will stand beside you.

      Amongst your cluttered thoughts,
