EBook PRINCES & pumpkins

Even something we have not experienced It may be that his gift of words is just so beautiful if we cannot relate we can feel the beauty and depth of his emotions through the beauty of his words While reading this collection of poems there was one that stood out to me It was called To mariah from her faggot father After reading it i had to put the book down and think about it for a few minutes I don t know if the author has a daughter and this is a small glimpse into his world or if its inspired by another but it is a beautiful building of words and emotions I don t have the gift this author has for words but his book touched me and i will be following and keeping an eye out for any other works he will be releasing I highly recommend this to anyone.
