A collection of observations, unexpected encounters and too often unspoken, yet universal experiences written in poetic verse. This work is separated into two sections: the first - On Love - speaks to everyday occurrences: introductions, hurts, exchanges and unplanned rendezvous. The second - On Life - speaks to pain, passion, pursuits and most importantly purpose (the fire inside).This is one woman's exploration of what it is to be imperfectly, yet beautifully human.
