A poet can only give her heart away once, the rest is observation. Poets are right to assume that love is eternal, and in a world of temporary things love is the immortal human experience. This is the poetry that sleeps between our love. May we always be bruised by beauty and touched by angels, but may we also be aware of our demons and our shadows, for the heart can only love in truth and these are the ingredients of the human condition.

The constant energetic of love is undeniable and your thoughts dovetail with an intelligence of knowing.
Earthy and sensual, eerie and otherworldly~ Stranded Hearts transports you into many states of consciousness. Through your heart’s portal, these poems enrapture and devastate you; they are enchanting pathways through the human (heart’s) conditon and remind you that LOVE is our very essence.
