"Rhythms" is a compilation of 16 years of writing. Set in chronological order, the reader can experience the throes of passion, the agony of life's harsher moments, and the introspection that accompanies the exploration of life and love and the author's universe. The author opens his heart, mind and soul - his thoughts pouring out into the form you see before you. Beginning when he was 16, the author wrote in fits and starts, and only when inspiration struck. Hesitant to call them poetry, more likely to describe them as the ramblings of a young man as he struggles through life - the author confides that there is no better way to understand him, than to read through this collection. Encouraged to publish by those whose hearts his writing has touched, the author presents this collection as a gift to the world. May it bring joy and comfort to all those who happen upon its pages.
