Selected Heart Poems ─ Along the Mystic

Selected Heart Poems accompanies Love Chronicles (my first poetry collection) as a selection of poems about love, spirituality, and journeys. The verse that has been collected here communicates more experiences of romance and the web of emotions that stem from complex feelings for another person. It also explores how we feel love for our children and our unconditional bond with them. On a spiritual level, there is a relationship between the self and the recognition that our lives are constantly changing yet finding reassurance that we can come to terms with this through understanding several Buddhist concepts. The key, perhaps most profoundly, is that of the connection between our happiness and the happiness of everyone else. There are collected poems that are connected with past travels across Europe and the Middle East and throughout my time in South America. The attempt here is to paint a vast canvas with my encounters of cultures and people, their customs and beliefs, backdrops to unbelievable meteorology and breathtaking scenery. With this in mind, it is possible to recall the excitement of the past and still move forward with extended belief and profound faith. Simplified, my poems are illustrations of my perceptions toward the world according to my personal experiences of love. This includes my fondness of travel, my interest in people, my love of the arts and also the magic language of dreams and how they interpret into daily life. Primarily, my love poems are passionate and filled with intrigue and sensuality; they themselves narrate stories rich in romance and emotions connected with the heart.
