Tears, Spirit, and Heart

About the Book

Tears, Spirit, and Heart is a collection of poems symbolizing my travels around the world. The poems within my book takes you through my childhood playing basketball to the deserts of New Mexico to my first love to betrayal of friends.

This is a collection of my memories and emotions of my past life. These poems have been in the works since 1995 to 2003. I have wanted to write a collection of poems to best describe my travels in life and love. I feel that this collection projects my memories of my life.

Tears, Spirit, and Heart is a book of poems about my life. Please read the poems and take a journey through my memories, emotions, and images of my life.
