An emotional journey

in short poems

'I kept my lovers a secret,

Now i am ready to reveal them.'

First there are the poems. Afterwards they can become a beautiful song, a song from the heart, painful or joyful but always honest and true.

A collection of forgotten writings, poems and lyrics all written by heart, expressing the mood of the moment.

True deep feelings, sometimes dark but powerful, bold associative leaps but these works are the unmistakable writings of an author who has the right colors of heart.

Frequently abstract, often layered with metaphors, similes and sometimes lacking...

It is truly a great work of literature.

The second poetry book of the GOLD EDITION is HEART, volume 2. Every poem is telling you a story about the rhythm of your heart, wanting to express is deeper sense of meaning. Embark upon these poems with an open heart, and let the verses be your compass, guiding you towards a life where the echoes of your heart resonate louder than the noise of the world.

The road to recovery

Get rid of your masks

Let all the feelings in

Face your traumas

Face your fears

Face yourself

Love yourself

But you just went there , you had to,

Welcome

To The Garden.

A place where you are truly yourself

And for some people it’s a scary place

In the end I have no control over what happens to me, only what I can make happen. What I try to reach for in my poems, is the answer to the question: Why and how to live?

There is nothing else to add to the preface, only that life is something precious we sometimes forget we have simply because we never lose it while we are al...

It is here, in darkness, where the relativity of space and time becomes so apparent. It is here, where I feel my experiences and views can shed light on what happens in this world. My poems cover a wide variety of themes and were written in various periods of my life. They are traces of who I was, of what I encountered and of how I perceived my environment. My hope is that these poems leave traces behind for you, dear reader. Traces of value, at a certain point in your life. May these poems a...

When you don't find the words to explain the feeling within your heart, you start writing poetry.
