There is a Storm in my Head
This collection of poems covers the human voyage from the gentle tides of innocence, dreams and purpose to the reality of fear, disappointment and pain. It’s a tale of extremes as the mind is tossed from frustration to elation; slipping into the depths of failure and finding anchors of hope. It is a catalogue of man’s desire: healing, happiness…and lust.
