People sometimes ask me why I write and I usually respond by saying that I like to. People often ask me why I write on the particular subjects that I do and to this question there isn't a straightforward answer that I can offer. I like to write about love, losing love, or never having love to begin with because love (along with hate and envy and a plethora of other emotions) is just what it is: an emotion. It's easy to write about an emotion because everyone has felt or think they've felt it at one point or another in their lives.
Being a poet means to be able to affect the reader with that certain emotion; make them empathize even if they have never felt or experienced that particular emotion before. A good poet is capable of doing that, just as a good writer is able to put a reader into the action or the story.
So with that said, I do hope that I am able to elicit, at the very least, a shadow of an emotion from you or leave a very faint aftertaste of what I was aiming for in your mind.
Note that most of my writing is un-beta'd and going through the tedious process of being rewritten (my grammar is a horror to behold, really), namely Love, Sweet Hate and Blood and Ink. Stay tuned, if you are so inclined, to see future updates.
