My warmest greetings to you, the reader. If your eyes are roaming through the lines of this page, then I understand that you have invested a bit of your time, curiosity and money to gain possession of this book. I acknowledge that you and I share a passion for the expressive power of poetry. And it is that passion, that emotion that has connected us over distance, race, tribe, nationality, gender and possibly… time. The poems you will read are expressions of self, soul and heart, inspired by my experiences in life and love over the last decade.
