Poetry flows out of the soul and on to the page, these poems were written at two completely different times in my life. Phanathema (part one) was written during a period of hurt, pain and melancholy, fueled by addiction and abuse. After taking some time away from writing... 7 years, I had gone through changes, cleaning myself up, recovering more and more, and getting healthier. This is when an inspiration came into my life, she was a reminder of to me of who I am. So I began writing in a different way, 'The Princess Poems' (part two), allowed me to open a loving, caring and sweet side and so, I put them together.
