The words discharged across the page display a lot of emotion and internal expression from the heart.The courage and bravery to speak of this type of poetry is great.

I read this three times at least to try to get the beat but was not able to follow it. I asked myself if this was some kind of ab use. Then I just left it for it troubled me. sincerely, mamasan

relationships are often accompanied by sound tracks- songs we meet and make love to, songs we break up to. There is a specific beat to each relationship. The darker side of ourselves, unfortunately, tend to come out in the presence of those we feel most comfortable being with- And passion like music brings out the best and worst in all of us.

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
