A Space Between Rains

A Space Between Rains: love poems about endings and beginnings. A poetic memoir of a life that reached a point of no return, the leaving of that life, and the stumbling search to find a life of my own where I was not invisible in the periphery of his.

I found wonderful adventures, and made a lot of mistakes. Through the hard times, I turned to the empty page when there was no place else to go, no one I dared to tell. I wrote in secret, and what I wrote began to teach me who I was. To the empty page I poured out my loneliness, my regret, my despair at the cost of the choices I had made, my fragile hopes, and my fierce blind seeking for something more. Poetry was my refuge, my therapy, my one true mirror, my small voice singing in the silence, and ultimately, my salvation.
