SOFTCOVER STANDARD BLACK & WHITE - TEXT - AQUATIC NOCTURNE - I know this place where I can go to drown out sound and earthly woe, I will not fall or their despair but take my time to try repair, I know this space, it feels like home.

My sincere thanks reach out to all who have contributed to making this collection possible, to my awesome family for their support and putting up with my reclusive ways, to my AP friends at allpoetry.com for allowing me to include these exquisite writes, and to the poets, close friends, for agreeing to collaborate and enhance my poems with their exceptional quills.

“Nothing is softer or more
flexible than water,
Yet nothing can resist it”

~ Lao Tzu ~

“She would be half a planet away,
floating in a turquoise sea,
dancing by moonlight to flamenco guitar.”

~ Janet Fitch ~

“Because there's nothing more beautiful
than the way the ocean refuses to
stop kissing the shoreline,
no matter how many times it's sent away.”

~ Sarah Kay ~

“I am the shore and the ocean,
awaiting myself on both sides.”

~ Dejan Stojanovic ~
