Love, Lust, and Loss

About the Book

My poetry and short stories will take you on a journey and give you a brief look into my life. Everything I write is from the heart and is inspired by personal experiences. Love speaks of the love that has filled my heart. Lust speaks of the many temptations, seductions, and emotions that stimulate the body. And loss speaks of the hurt that can be brought on by love or feelings of lack thereof. The short stories of passion allowed me to delve into my creative side. The many days I sat daydreaming and wondering what if are now out of my head and on paper. Often we fantasize but we keep our fantasies to ourselves. This allows me to explore those passions outside of a mere daydream. “Love, Lust, and Loss” reflects life experiences and everything in between. My book takes a look into every aspect of every emotion that love and loss of love elicits. I hope that what I write inspires you to feel something you’ve never felt, reminds you of a love from your past, present, or future, and allows you to see that you are not alone in your emotions.

About the Author

I have been writing poetry since the age of fourteen, using poetry as an outlet to express my innermost feelings in regards to love. Being born and raised in Houston, Texas, by a single mother who constantly gave me love has led me to seek that undying, unconditional love in my relationships. I’ve always been a hopeless romantic, so I feel that everyone has that one and only someone, a soul mate, made just for them. I love expanding my horizons and doing anything cultural (whether it’s visiting an art museum or enjoying Bourbon Street in New Orleans for Mardi Gras) and writing where it’s serene (usually next to lakes, the pool, or beaches). I’ve been inspired by many songwriters and poets, and I’ve shared my poems live a handful of times. Although I love the vibes I get from the audience, I find that I prefer to share my world with people simply through the written word.
