No Lost Tears

This collection offers an intimate glimpse into a life weathered by adversity yet renewed by purpose. The candid verses inside reflect the mind and heart of a writer who has suffered yet chooses to share the lessons and hope gleaned along the way.

With grit-edged honesty and tenderness, the poems mine the profound human experiences that forge us: love and loss, joy and grief. They chronicle the search for meaning amidst the hellish trials of life, while celebrating the saving graces of beauty, redemption, healing.
