Soul

This book contains all of the content included in the four previously published volumes, as well as a section of as yet unpublished material that didn’t quite make it into those four books of poetry. I began writing in my teens. Being a shy teenager, and a musician, I wrote mostly lyrical compositions. At the time, writing these compositions (as rough as they were) was my way of expressing the torture that most, if not all, teenagers experience growing up. Love Me Back from The Double Edged Sword is the only piece I wrote during that period that survived to be included in this collection. The words written in this book are indeed, my heart and soul. I have spent over half my life contemplating and composing what will become the one true testament of my world the way I see it. To any and every person that has ever crossed my path, each one of you has made an impression on me and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
