I began writing poetry at age fourteen, it was inspired by love of course, that has been the catalyst for all my poetry to this day. I was given a copy of Sonia Sanches 'Love Poems' at seventeen and my world was changed forever. I discovered Pablo Neruda, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni and loved the imagery captured in their words.
The stages of love, the flirtation, intensity, passion, selfless (agape) , loss of love, heartbreak, heartache and new love makes writing poetry cathartic. I hope anyone reading my poetry will enjoy them as much as I do writing them.
Where do I end
where do we begin,
I am not sure anymore.
It seems I can no longer exist as a single cell organism
...
I want to revoke my state of independence
I want to go back to coupledom and live with you,
conjoined
in connubial bliss.
...
Your milk of loving kindness
Flows like rain
Flooding my thoughts
With fresh kisses,
...
