Poetry is but life distilled.
It is the outlined image of existence that awaits the unique colours of personal experience to bring it definition.
Each poem, therefore, is its own canvas sketch of momentary being that seeks only to guide the hand of the real artist who responds to the text with their own brush strokes of truth.
From our tragedy to triumph; our happiness to heartbreak; and our darkness to our light...we all used to be someone.
