'sappening yo! You see the book above? That's my baby and it is now available for FREE DOWNLOAD on Smashwords if you're looking for a quick but (hopefully) engaging read!

Moments – a poem

Those moments in which we'd simply gaze at one another Were moments in which we became something other We became more than partners, more than lovers We became something indescribable with our souls uncovered.
