    About this ebook

    These poems were written based on personal experiences in my life. They include the things that have made me who I am today. The trials, the triumphs, the obstacles that have shaped the man I have come to be. This book is a very candid and open view of my life and my philosophies. I feel that many people will be able to identify with the situations and ideals contained herein.

      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.
