My Heart is Full Richard Stephen Kram

The power of words can touch the deepest regions of the heart; The magic of rhythm can unleash a torrent of raw emotions. My Heart is Full employs a wide range of forms. The collection loosely follows a transition from death, through confusion, the beginning of love, being in love, and the end of love. Parts of three poems provide a feel for the work:

to find the person who cannot live without me
to find the person I cannot live without
to surrender (gladly) to one's feelings
to find passion (madly) without a shadow of a doubt

Not so important what I've done
This fact time now discloses
While running through life's garden green
I'd stop to smell the roses

black crows surround me evermore
black cockroaches abound about my floor
surely this is fantasy
but my steps go crunch when i answer the knock
of the orphan at my door
