My poems have simply kept coming over the years often inspired by an impactful observation, conversation, music or as an emotional urge that simply spouts out in written words to present itself. Almost every poem here was once at least the length of a legal pad page but has been pared down on every pass to speak to its individual essence only. Always, the intent has been to pin down the truth of my feelings being experienced at that time, or over time. With this expanded second edition, ‘Primary Colours’ is meant to further speak to the colours we may ascribe to our most visceral and immediate moments of flushed emotion e.g. infatuation, grief and joy. Some of the poems here may speak to specific colours but are not meant to be definitive. Some others seek to capture a reminiscence or reflection and all collectively serve as a record of this past phase of my life, the kernels of wisdom gained, and perhaps some insight in common with the reader.
