Book Cover & Preview Text
Expression of soul Dark and light and all between Hidden and exposed Heartache and laughter The story of one's being From birth to present Personal journey And passions to face the day One's fears and one's hopes One's anger and love What makes one lose all control And regain their peace What makes one human And an heir to the divine All within one's words One's lusts and disgusts What would bring one to one's knees And rise one above What one finds mundane What excites one to action And what one holds dear What makes one lonely In other's company yet Content in one's own What makes one's tears fall When overjoyed yet also Laugh through all the pain All these things comprise What poetry means to me To bring me to write

About the Book
In this book's pages are tales of love revisited, by a seasoned hand. Included therein are hand-painted illustrations of ones once held dear: Beauties of all kinds from the garden of my heart– This book a bouquet. En las páginas se hallan viejos amores vuelven por manos sabias. Aquí se hallan trazos hechos a mano de almas que amé: bellezas sin fin del jardín de mi alma, ramo del ayer. Kono hon ni furukoi meguru roushu yori. Koko ni aru tegaki no etachi itoshi hito: utsukushisa mune no niwa yori, hanataba yo.
About the Author
Hello once again My name is Richard Hauken I authored this book For those who don't know I write stanza-grouped haiku That build larger verse Within the past year Since my first book was released I've returned to art My career's shifted Since my hospital release Into other fields I still practice code– A hobby in my spare time Whenever needed In matters of love Neither forward nor backward But I stay content My plan of action To meet a foreign woman Like I've been advised And for that reason I've begun learning Spanish In hope of true love It will take some work To learn a foreign language And to form a bond With time and patience I'm certain all things will come As too my love's hand
