Book Cover & Preview Text
isterly Cecilia and Lorelei Sisters Cecilia and Lorelei Loving separately but growing, they wave Different flowers, but never say good-bye Lorelei pretty; Cecilia brave Cecilia radiant, strikes the sun Lorelei lovely, calming anxious lakes The water lily, aloof, is as one The echinacea, furious it takes Jealousy should have no expectation Disappointment more echinacea breeds The water lily tries for temptation Lorelei, younger, eventually leads Treated the same, but turning out different And now, nature names wherever love went Poppy Petals And where did life go, and when did death stay? Anger in life and such sadness in death Leave a poppy bouquet on graves I may For corpses of coffins, a heartfelt wreath Aware of lifeless words reaching my ears: "Decay echoes throughout my dead body Inspiration decomposes with tears But I am grateful for the grand poppy And I admire beauty's wild-born flower.” And I listen to tension in the moans And stare silent at a poppy flower Because empathy understands his groans And orange poppy petals are hopeful That my happy deeds are never woeful

About the Book
Poetry is about empathy, imagination, observation, and about internal and external truths. These works focus on a person's relationship with nature, others, and self, through depicting hope, love, memory, shame, immortality, acceptance, faith, happiness, confidence, passion, recognition, diversity, perseverance, forgiveness, vulnerability, and loneliness. Nevertheless, this poetry collection is like an assortment of gothic romances, because, despite a melodramatic imagination, love somehow finds a way to dominate and triumph all else. The paintings are about how color can make one feel, about finding one's subconscious. They intend to be stimulating, slightly chaotic sometimes, invigorating, and thought-provoking. With an irresistible emphasis on flowers and on messy beauty easily found in the day-to-day, these works find a way to engage one's senses to sights, smells, touches, sounds, and even tastes. This collection of works speaks for anyone interested in humanities, art, sociology, symbolic interactions, feminism, psychology, literature, flora, and any motif of life.
