These poems are a snapshot of twenty-five years of poetry in the making. My words have given form to a living, breathing diary of one man's life. Come take my hand and travel with me through moments of disparity, passion, and joy in my first collection of poetry titled In Perpetuity. Like a beautiful painting left behind in a museum; I give you my words. Forever leaving you, a piece of me.

In Perpetuity

Cafe's are great places to get a start as a poet. Vancouver, B.C. Canada has some wonderful ones.I remember sitting in the audience in La Quena, listening to the poets. Poetry read on-stage takes on a dimension of human communication unseen since the early storytellers. Looking at the poet's body language struck a chord in me. Quite often I would take out a pen and paper and write furiously.One day I was at the Glass Slipper in Vancouver and Gerry Gilbert, a well-known poet, was doing his "Radio Free Rainforest" radio show live. At intermission, he came down from the stage and asked me if I'm a poet. I said, "yes" and was put on the radio a couple of weeks later. We became good friends and he would show up on his bicycle and call up to me in poems. We'd go for long walks around the seawall, talking poetry.I ended up accompanying him on my flute at poetry readings. One day he did a set of poetry about fireworks. He blended my flute playing with a soundscape of the fireworks celebration on Sunset Beach and used it as a backdrop to his poems at the Glass Slipper. Someone in the crowd must have been inspired a bit too much. Next morning we learnt that the Glass Slipper had been burned down, unfortunately, in the night after the poets left. They say words are more powerful than swords.....maybe they start fires too.Here's to starting the fires of the mind and heart . . .

Higgins, Glenda

Within these pages, writers have put their love for music into words.

Each poet will take the time to breathe life into compositions filled with emotional harmony. Each poem, meant to take the reader on a musical journey; where one can sprout rhythmic wings and fly into symphonic dreams for just a moment. Donna J. Sanders, Author

Love A Four Letter Word: Love Poems From Around The World

Unleashed, Creative Talents

Feel me. That’s all I ask. I realize what I am. I’m not like every dog in the pen. I’m different. I’m off my leash. I may bark, may bite. But I’m just as quick to cuddle up to your side and wag my tail until you pet me. As much as I hate to admit it, all I want to do is please you. That’s probably an “un-artist” thing to say, but like I said, I’m different. Don’t open this book and expect to see the normal. This is your warning. I’m different, but I’m real. I spell things out in a semi-clever way. I’m not the best, I’ll never be the best. I’ll never win an award. But if I win your hearts, I’ll have accomplished all I need. Feel me. That’s all I ask.

Off The Leash

Vallee, Ryan

This book was written to help a person find their internal quarrels in written words. Written words bring about a different perspective. To overcome something, you must be able to see it from a different viewpoint, you must be able to analyze and understand it in order to accept it or move past it. The most important step in the healing process is acknowledgement that what you are feeling is okay to feel, and that you are not alone in those feelings. Get lost in this book and find yourself in it, all at the same time. Emotional clarity.

My North Star Misled Me

Join in the Happy Hour Hallelujah, a celebration of life, a sparkle amidst the dirt. Allow yourself to laugh, to smile, through sadness and suffering. Laugh until you cry about what our basic human condition has become. But remember, we must fall down in order to get up and stand taller. We must embrace our trials and tribulations and learn to fight the good fight in the face of entropy.Come together, to the Happy Hour express – an all-consuming proclamation of spirituality through art. Each written word is a stick of dynamite that when strung together ignites the brain into overdrive, explosive enough to bring the truth crashing down around you, vibrating through and through you. Each poem is sure to question your perception of the dog-eat-dog world we have come to know, love and hate.There is always order in chaos, we just have to be present long enough to find it; adapt and survive, progress and evolve. We all die, let’s not forget to live as loud as we can first.- L. J. Diaz, Author

Happy Hour Hallelujah

This poetry collection shouts triumph and courage, whilst rattling your senses and shaking up your bones. Be prepared to be astounded by delightful alliteration and verse lyrical in cadence. Some poems are a personal catharsis, some are soliloquies - truly insightful and authentic. This book digs down deep into humanity and directly speaks to the masses, the downtrodden - anyone constrained by religion, class and creed. Freedom and justice are inherent to the very core, leaving one feeling uplifted and motivated.The expression of language throughout this book is the definition of unequivocal beauty, effortlessly breaking down barriers and crossing boundaries to reach one and all. This collection of poetry certainly lives up to its metaphor - the salamander. We rise to fall, to rise once more.- L. J. Diaz

The Salamander Chronicles

Beukes, Don

‘Butterflies and Skin’ is an invitation to a journey of sensuality, sultry and tactile pleasure.A wonderful collection of short prose and poetic pieces; Tiffany Simone speaks with raw honesty, unabashedly about her desire for love, her longings, her losses and painful path to finding herself. This book is written for true romantics, who relish in the truth of laying themselves bare while in the pursuit of love. There are moments of lyrical melancholy; there are also moments of pure fire lit passion, delighting in carnal pleasure, without apology. For anyone who has ever been hopelessly in love, has ever lost in love or reawakened by a new love, this is a book the reader will identify with. Simone speaks with clarity, giving voice to our hidden thoughts of decadent pleasures.A beautiful read to evoking secret passions…Brenda-Lee Ranta Author of Myriad of Perceptions &amp; Allegories

Butterflies & Skin: Dirty Sweet Poetry

Simone, Tiffany

Every man and woman longs to find a love that is unconditional. This book is the autobiographical account of a woman and a man, who against all odds, found each other; resuming something mystical that existed long before the annals of earthly time and space. This is the actual account of two people who came into what is known as “The Sacred Union or Twin Soul Reunion.” Nothing on earth prepares two people for this encounter, but once they find each other, there is a magnetic energy pulling at them, stronger than any other human encounter they have experienced. This book speaks of personal struggles, horrific fears, running stages and the final acquiescence to what has been preordained; lest they never sleep another peaceful night. This is not a union made of fluff or fairy tales. Rather, it is the awakening of two sleeping beings, who truly awoke to their inner selves when they found each other again. Many books on this subject matter, speak to the longing stage, separation and running stage, all the while agonizing, in wait of reunion. This book explains about the inner work leading to union; but the hard work truly begins ‘in union,’ where every inner flaw, every Karmic hindrance, bubbles to the surface, to be dealt with or the couple will not succeed. This is a book about the journey of living daily with your soul mirror, accepting each lesson that comes, while loving each other unconditionally. It is not a book borne of religiosity, but rather from that which has always been and shall continue to be. This book fills in the gaps, dispels the romanticism; speaking from actual experience, with blatant truth of what happens “when love collides.” “Wherever you go, I shall go. Wherever you live, so shall I live. Your people shall be my people and your God, shall be my God too.” ~ The Song of RuthI wish you peace, love, light and awakening beyond measure, while on your sojourn to Sacred Union.Brenda-Lee Ranta
