I’ve always had the ability to see things unsaid.

I define growth the same as I define evolution. I believe that revolution is a necessary battle that very few people fight, let alone face, as their faces are being manipulated through images of propaganda. I believe in truth and lies yet I still debate on what truth is truth, because one man’s truth is based off of another man’s lies, in acts of controlling our lives. I believe it’s possible to love something or someone enough to inflict pain on yourself, if not there would be no victims of abuse in an abusive relationship, or addicts giving the bodies of an innocent child or their own to a pusher of any kind for their next fix…. or an activist that can dedicate his/her life in the hopes that we might be spared the pain and struggle that he/she was faced with. I feel that the acceptance of fallacies is what makes the reality that I possess and convey complex…. So therefore, the message that I try to get across at times gets lost in translation from my mouth to people’s ears and like my intentions, I am MISUNDERSTOOD… Simply stated you must know who you are to know who you can be.
Poetry is the balance between my existing and my living… My struggles and my triumphs… My hopes and my faith… My nightmares and my dreams… Poetry is vibrating waves of sound transformed from silence. Poetry is the echoing hollow within that was told it could not and would not exist… breaking out in screams, laughter, and songs… Leaving the muted soul with a voice. Poetry is the hand that is always there to lift me up… poetry is the lips that always returns my kiss softly… Poetry is letters formulated into words that compose sentences… Poetry is my temptress… Poetry seduces me time and time again… And I’m an exotic love affair between consonants and vowels that creates stimulating metaphors with each embrace. “PoeticSymmetry” is a collection of some of those intimate moments forever sealed in time and exposed by the ink drops on a once blank canvas.
