The Heart Speaks

About the Book

The Heart Speaks is a book of poems based on the experiences encountered in life with matters of the heart, plus other things related, compiled in medley of words. The art of writing called poetry in an easy form, in areas that are more of interest to the author's perspective and notion. Some poems writing are intended for the heart's lifter in "New York, An Awesome City"; devotion, "A Love So Great"; inspirational in "Behold"; confession of a great love and/or true love; "My Dearly Beloved" and many others. Poems that are of grouching regrets,"Let Me Go"; melancholic in, "Lonely Newport Beach", melodramatic in "Life of a Snail" and even poignant scene like the "Agony of War" plus many others. The nature of the poem depends on how the mood struck at that moment in time or what music was playing, or thru' an affair of that day with someone special, love of life, or even a friend, or whatever the occasion maybe. This book depicts emotions of love, loneliness, family, sadness, desperation, hurt and other sentients clearly describe when the heart is in its best state.. either joy, agony or ecstasy. The medley of words fascinates the author to write her true feelings or even a dream situation or an event. Since family"Tribute to My Mother,"; "My Children", is very important to the author, a section is designated to those members so described in this book.
