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.

CHAPTER 1

LOVE ...

"In life and in love we go through ups and downs. This chapter tells stories of all the trials of love, the ups, the downs, and the in between."

    What You Have Done

    * * *

    What you have done
    Is open up my doors
    They have been shut for so long, now it's time to explore
    What you have done
       Is show me
       That there's more in life to see
       So I open my eyes and see things differently
    What you have done
       Is give me hope
       When I thought I was lost
       When it came to love
       You showed me that if I
    followed my heart
       I could do things, I
    always dreamed of

    Vous �tes mon �me (You Are My Soul)

    * * *

    There's a special someone who has captured my soul
    My Mind Body and Heart I cannot control

    So deep that words can't even express
    The way that I feel is something I can't repress

    Your beauty is so ... I can't let you go
    Gorgeous on the outside, but I was speaking of your soul

    To be high every day ... without weed or ecstasy
    That's how I feel when I talk to you ... I can only imagine when
