DESCRIPTION:       It started with a strong voice inside me, which was so powerful that I could not ignore it. I was able to sense and see pictures and scenarios in one’s personal life. This has driven my heart with such powerful pain. It took me almost six years to finally be given the opportunity to publish. I have realized that I do have something I would call a personal court, that lives in me and is felt daily. When faced with people’s challenges that tend to be somewhat too emotional and personal to bear, I get this so-called heavy and tearing pain, exerting its weight on my heart so much, one would think it is mine. Writing poems such as A Woman, A Survivor, Choice and Choices, Your Face Is Not Your Reflection, Leaders of Tomorrow and Coldest Winter Of She, that is where I off-load this burden that is in my heart. My intention from these poems is to always reveal, expose, share, inform and advise people about what they are not aware of, by way of giving light on what is happening around this very beautiful world of ours. I highlight moments through which the human soul lives, as it only lives once, and there is no other chance.
