My Heart My Soul

About the Book

My first encounter with poetry was a dark time in my life. There was no electricity in my household, so I had a candle in my room for light. Here is where my first poem light by night would be created. Poetry has given me a chance to express what I was feeling emotionally outside my love for art and music. It was expressions that I couldn’t materialize on canvas or on an instrument. Poetry is a broader image for me; it allowed me to go places I’ve longed to go as far as reality or imaginary. I’ve always loved to write since high school. My English and writing teacher said “I told good stories but couldn’t get to main idea quick enough”, so with poetry I was able to get my point across in a shorter time.

I love to play with words making them rhyme was lots of fun. My classmates asked, “How do you find words to rhyme with all the time? I replied it’s like matching a pair of pants with shoes or a shirt with a tie.

During college a friend of mine introduced me to rapping, He simply said try saying your poems to a rhythm along with drum patterns. So I did, it was like Miles Davis’ the birth of the cool, just experimenting with different rhythms and changes. I never stopped writing poetry since. I finally found my true love.
