You are about to journey into a concoction of poems that lets you see inside my heart and soul. Though life’s everyday struggles, love, a never-ending friendship and family play an important role, the core of my penmanship is stemmed from a female disease that later strips me of my womanhood and spirals my life into the darkness of depression. So many people want to express how they feel, yet sometimes they can’t seem to find the way to do it. I hope this book lets people realize that no matter what is happening in their lives, they are never alone—something I learned the hard way. I want the reader to comprehend my existence through Psychological Melody of Words.

Psychological Melody

Idiosyncratic picture in words

Sounds described to the precise element

Imagery embedded without vacillation

Emotional… personal…. intense

A psychological melody

That exists within the poet

Wanting the reader to comprehend

The beauty of being

Bringing the two together

Through the medium of poetry

This process starts with….

A battle within the mind

The poet is a solider

The pen is…..the gun

Fighting this battle with words

Starting out with just a flicker

Words become a rampant inferno

Expanding onto paper like conflagration

Fed by intellectual fuel

Probing for Me

Little girl in me

Where have you gone?

Please find your way back

To right this awful wrong

So lost without a find

Embedded in the core of our soul

Obscured deep in our mind

Are thoughts from the past

Haunting me over and over

Memories that seem to last

No good ones--- all bad

All during our adolescence

Leaving us feeling mortified and sad

I now don't know what to do

Masked it so deeply

Now I'm searching for you

To take me back 20 years

To face these probing demons

Encumber these irrepressible tears

Set my mind and body free

Please, oh please, help

Little girl in me
