A Secret Place called Hidden Heart II

Samsara, all things change. So they do. It is important that the change be for the better. An improvement. Internalized, not outside pressured. I have vaulted many writes that I felt were beyond my bounds, as I did not know if what I felt were true, or if I projected something on someone they didn't deserve. I held my feelings back from you the reader. I may have been wrong, I hoped with my whole being I was. I will from time to time re-introduce these "lost" pieces of a puzzle. You could live quite well without ever reading them, yet I would be a fragment of what I truly am, a man who has made mistakes, has regrets, loves with all his heart...knows full well all things change.

For about a year, I have been signing Michael, my real name, as Fletcher Pen. My style, my life has changed and so my signature reflects this. I don't know how, but I think it will produce a more honest poem. Automagically like dialing numbers and someone picks up the phone!

Thank you each and every one who has left me feedbacks of encoragement or constructive criticism.

As always I look forward to reading your poems soon and leaving an honest sense of what I found. I have found so many talented writers whose work inspires me to write more and continue the craft. Read you soon, in the meanwhile I hope you enjoy what you find here.
