"Bleeding Heart Forever" represents a transitional state of life - a period of both endless turning and the futile resonance of turning. While not intended it be its own collection, it differs in style and theme enough to be deserving of its own vessel. Written over a relatively short period of poetic outpouring, I feel that this collection is my poetry at its most personal. Truly, it is a memoir of feeling and emotion that functions more as abstract prose than poetry. Left as it was written, I feel as though to edit and perfect would be to lose the sincerity of my thoughts at the time of writing. A torrent of both love and pain that remains endless, despite the passing of time. A running out of time itself to fulfill all that the heart requires, yet the reality that love transcends the bounds of this time.
