The Depths of My Soul: Into the Feels

By Steve Jackson

This cover is filled with words from my heart. Whether sad and lonely, or a dedication to family, love and being just me, these words are personal. Many focus on love during my “coming of age” and navigating dating and relationships. If these words speak to you, all the better. Most of the poems are short but all of them convey my deep emotion.

Family is the theme of one specific poem. My family means the world to me, so I have to dedicate this book to them and their support in getting the book published. Look for the poem “My Sisters.” It’s personally one of my favorites. Also look for “Show Me the Love - It’s a Family Thang.”

To my friend Emilia. You’ve encouraged me for over twenty years to write. Thank you for being there.

To Sandra H. Thanks for the push. You’re a great Life Coach.

And most importantly, Rick. Thanks, my sweetheart. You’ve been there through so many ups and downs. Thanks for your love and support. Love you and our kids and grandkids!

Just a little note for you, the reader.

Poetry is an expression of my deepest feelings. It is a gift that I was blessed with and that I have honed over many years. I have written when I was sad or lost or confused and frustrated. I have also written when I was happy, content, excited, and of course, in love. Some of these poems are filled with angst, longing, and defeat. There are poems that read like end notes that seem to carry deeper meaning. I am not, nor have been, in danger of hurting myself. You see, by putting these feelings in writing for me is therapy. I cleanse my soul. I move on. I can say that I am lucky, for there were some lows in my life.
