Severely Brief Peace

“I write because I find poetry in your eyes And I am a poet because they deserve to be Shelly’s muse But they chose to love me to bits Saving me from the madness that drove Hemingway to put a bullet through his head.” Severely Brief Peace is not a collection of your everyday love poems where boy meets girl and they live happily ever after. Each poem in this book has been derived from a personal experience of love loss and longing. From experiencing the first heartbreak of ill-fated love to going on a journey to learn to love yourself one day at a time these poems explore the emotions we feel every day but are too afraid to embrace. It is a reminder to yourself and the universe that there is a lot in this world to be grateful for. All we need to do is believe. This book is a collection of poems written over a period of five years and the compilation is potent with the array of shades of love it’s going to leave you with.
