For all people, life passes through and around us in light and shadow. We enjoy moments of joy and comfort, when no sooner we're faced with upset, disappointment, sometimes even tragedy. The art we create, our music, literature, painting, theatre and the rest, reflects this. Think of Shakespeare, or Rembrandt, or Beethoven, or your favorite lifetime film. Can we appreciate moments of joy, without having known sadness? We see it in nature. The brilliant colors of birth, the dimmer struggles for survival, the darker shades of decay and dying. A bleak winter's day, a rainy afternoon in March, a sunny May morning. I always attempt to capture both light and shadow when I write, in my novels, stories, plays, and in my poems. It's an attempt to show respect, I think, for the human condition.

I've written stories, novellas, novels and plays for decades. Only recently, have I tried my hand at poetry. As an on and off reader of that art, I always turned to the greatest lyric poets, Shakespeare, Keats and Yeats for inspiration, and found myself perplexed by modern poets of free verse, not able to grasp their music, or deeper meaning, except from a rare few. My one hundred poems here are an attempt to express my experience and impressions from life and to do so musically. Although my talents are very modest, I think if you read through this collection, you'll find some rewarding poetry and perhaps a few distant echoes I listened for with great reverence.

Emotions Unheard II is a book of bold thoughts and unheard feelings that most individuals conceal at the cost of peace. The poetic expressions spoken in this sequel relate to real life circumstances and are inspired by personal and historical events. The emotions portrayed in Emotions Unheard II are derived from the perspective of a broken heart, a hustle mentality, a lost soul, and a painful past leading to a rehabilitated journey of wisdom and peace. The purpose of this poetic compilation is to inspire, encourage and give hope to those experiencing silent pain or loss of confidence.
