Blues from the Heart: "For the World to Know"

By Ted Kapsalis

BLUES FROM THE HEART, For The World To Know. It speaks about the passion, bond, desire and vulnerability of being in love. Ted say digging through the dark sides of heart and soul takes courage, guts, bravery, nerve and dare. However, once you unearth the heavy blanket of pain and sorrow, slowly but surely the heaviness starts to fade away, then its lightness brings new meaning of hope.

Once you break the mirror of the shadow that follows you, then your heart and soul is liberated, rejuvenated, and the freedom gives you wings to escape from the peat of darkness to the sunlight of a new purpose in life. Falling in love its easy, but to hold on and fulfill the desires, it is another thing, often leading to heart break, isolation, loneliness, depression or even suicidal.

Ted was born in the historical place of Kalpaki-Ioanninon, Greece.

At age 18, he migrated to the United States of America. He currently lives with his wife and his three children in Vallejo, California.

From his early adolescent years, Ted had the love and the desire for poetry; this love is rooted deeply in his heart.

Ted doesn’t consider himself a poet and neither seeks any recognition. Simply, he wishes to share his feelings that somehow along the way have touched his life.

Ted writes in English and his native Greek language. In English, his poetry has been recognized by Noble House and the International Society of Poets from where he received many awards.

In July 2005, he circulated his first book in English language with the title Simple Heart, Whispers Love Songs. Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times best-selling author, in her criticism for this book reports, "Whoever has loved and loved a lot, will find something that will appreciate him in Ted Kapsalis’ book. It is simple, genuine, and commemorative love. It is poetry that speaks to the heart, from the heart."

In February 2010, he circulated the second collection of poetry with the title From Heart to Heart, Inside Out. From love’s first blush to eternal love, to loss and betrayal. Ted captured the joy, hope, loneliness, and sorrow that accompany this powerful emotion and all it encompasses. From one heart to another, this collection of love poems helped others feel they are not alone in experiencing the inevitable swirl of emotions that begin the moment we fall in love.
