There is a time and place for deep thinking, questioning the realms of our existence, and attempting to find everlasting and eternal bliss. Sometimes the path leads to revolution, uproar, the rising of millions. Other times it finds love and ventures through the temples of Aphrodite. Ever frequently, when hope seems distant and far-fetched, it takes you deep down below, where the shadow lives. Wreathed in flame it engulfs your every movement. If I have any goal with this book and the writing in it, it is to spark a thought in the readers mind. No special or certain thought in particular, but something that moves you towards a deeper understanding. A thought that drives you to question what exists, what you are told in your daily life. I hope that something you read in this book causes you to stop and think. If it does not do that then I did not achieve what I set out to do when I began to compose this collection of poems. Thank you to all who do read this book, I appreciate the support, and I hope that you think a little while reading it and maybe even get a laugh or two.
