Book Description
There is a beauty in sadness, for it is the darkness without which you cannot appreciate the light. In my mid-20's, I went through a period of extreme pain and sadness. I faced one heartbreak after another, until I felt I would burst or fall to pieces. During that time, poetry was one of the few things that helped keep me together. These poems are the actual poems I wrote during those few years when pain was everywhere I turned. But through it all, I clung to hope... hope that things would change, hope that it would all be better someday, somehow. I was right, but I couldn't know that then. I could only hope. That hope carried me through to where I am today, and you can see it peeking out in these poems, though it is sometimes buried by sadness. To me, these poems are like a journal of not just my pain - which seems so far away now it's almost like a vivid dream - but also my strength, my hope, the belief I clung to, the triumph I experienced in coming out the other side into beautiful brightness. It is a record of part of what made me who I am today. If you are in a place of sadness, my wish is for these poems to show you that you are not alone, and to show you that as deep as my pain was, today my life is full of joy and brightness... and if it happened for me, it can happen for you. There is always hope.

Book Description
The Conversation of Hope is a book of poetry and quotes that will inspire you to overcome life’s challenges, trials, and tribulations with two main ingredients-your hope and faith in God...It will display experiences that take us all through the emotions of soul searching and growing; all the while, acknowledging that life happens and changes, but it’s how we evolve at the end. My poems and quotes are not all biographical; they are also collections of general life experiences from my encounter with beautiful people like you. Every poem and quote was written by me, inspired by you, and delivered with faith and hope that love touches your heart and filters your soul.

Book Description
“Dreams are thoughts within my mind Of things that might now be. But hope is written in God’s Word Of what shall surely be.” Our worldly dreams will not satisfy the emptiness of a longing, hurting soul. Only an enduring hope found in God satisfies the soul with joy and purpose. This collection of poems takes one on a journey in which eyes of faith and hope view idols, foes, and struggles along the path. Then these eyes fully open to behold the sweet joy, love, and peace found in faith and hope rooted in God. The conviction of this faith and hope is heralded in “Yet I Will Joy”: “Though the day of trouble comes . . . / Yet I will joy in the Lord God of my salvation.” Faith and hope bring the “Sweet Joy” of a life lived in the call of the Lord God. “The Calling of the Princess” vividly pictures the high king seeking a bride for his prince. The messenger goes forth throughout the land calling for a bride, a princess, for his son. Who will answer the call?

These love songs are, of course, Sufi poems, and a few odds and ends formed out of that same Source of all joy. They follow no formal rhyme or metre, except when they do, and have only the path of love as a common theme.
