My poetry is inspired by love, romance, grief and my own journey with PTSD. I've had six of my PTSD themed poems published in a national magazine with two winning national awards. My first book, "The Touch of a Poet's Heart" was released in August 2023.

In My Eyes

I see that look in your eyes
the one that comes
everytime you stand in

Because what we have
Could never be duplicated.
No one will ever have
Your smile,  your eyes
Or that look you...

I can feel the emotion of the Poet. The pain, the commitment to duty, the desire to be seen for who they are not what they went through.

I feel the emotion in your heart and the pain of rejection. Such an excellent way to purge the negativity inside you. I hope you find a man who will love you and heal your pain.
