Midnight Embers

Words, when strung together like a beautiful rare necklace, are priceless, indestructible and eternal. Poetry is the grand ballroom these words live, breathe and dance in. Poetry waltzes into the heart and creates passionate rhapsodies and tender symphonies for the soul. Her playground of emotions is peppered with excitement, enchantment, love, harmony, sorrow, heartache, empathy and bereavement. Poetry is the rhythm of the universe painted onto paper with pen, ink and imagination.

This book of sonnets is alive with emotions and vivid imagery borrowed from the many splendoured paintings that light the canyons of the heart. Sonnets are the agony and the ecstasy of the human condition and hearts in transition. These verses are the midnight embers of the soul, some sparking and bursting into flame, others the residue of a passion so deep that it still warms the heart long after the fire has died.
