Forward to My Poems

Forward to My Poems 

These are poems from my heart. They might not rhyme but they are heartfelt. They might not make sense to anyone except me; however, I’m the only one they need to make sense to. My only desire is to give you a light, a window into my heart. Take what you can from these and maybe even learn my heart. 

I wrote the following on the inside cover of my book of poems on June 27, 2008, “I've opened a window into my soul. This book is that window. My thoughts, hopes, and fears, I've put in this book. My poems may not be great, may not even be good, but they are an outlet for what is inside me. If you should choose to look inside, if you should choose to read, remember these words.

I spent years bottling my emotions; I realized I was wrong. Once, I exploded in rage, so very unlike me. It was then that I realized that I needed an outlet, a way to get my emotions out. Poetry has become that outlet for me. When I put things on paper, I begin to feel better. So here they are, a collection of my heart, sometimes a poem, sometimes a song.

The point here is to express myself, to let feelings out, they may not make sense to you but they always do to me.”
