My catharsis through words~~

 An introduction

 

Inside all of us lies a soul.

An emotional part of human nature.

Where deep inside of us lies a hunger for self-expression,

to expose ourselves to others,

  whether through dance, art, song, or poetry…

A catharsis is born which helps us understand and piece together

our complex, and often difficult lives on our journey.

I believe that in all of us lies poetic expression.

For me, writing is a way to purge my emotions.

I respect poetry, in all forms, because there is something so beautiful in the act of expressing ourselves, and its poignant and simple touch that it has on our lives.

In my book of poetry titled, The Poetry Soldier,

 there is depth that goes beyond simple minds, power

that is felt through the pages, in each stanza and word.

The pen I use to bridle exposed passions and create harmony.

My hope is that my words can help you,

mend your wounded heart,

bring your mind to a state of consciousness,

to the art of self-expression.

I open myself up to you…

 

Additional Note: My poetry leans more towards prose, and I tell a story, created through my life experiences, whether good or bad. I don't usually take on particular poetic forms, however, rhyming poetry, free verse, and spoken word appeals to me the most. My poetic influences include Maya Angelou, Susan Polis Shultz, Robert Louis Stevenson,

Shel Silverstein, Rumi, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Jewel, Jill Scott.
