This book is about expressing the experiences of life from the heart and soul. It will reveal within its readers the inner spiritual treasures of life through childhood memories, love adventures, and heart aches but also uplift the readers as they journey through the pages of this lyrical masterpiece. May the readers find solace in their lives as they discover the true nature of their inner desires and engross themselves in the realm of poetic bliss. Allow the poems to help release the shackles that bind your heart and soul and allow the universal flow of love to connect you to a spiritual realm of infinite joy and peace. This book is about finding a happy medium within your lives as you traverse the maze of life. With two different writing styles, the authors of this book hope to give you two different but complementary viewpoints on experiences that have shaped their view of life, their view of love, and their view of poetry.
