Painted Dreams is an honest expression of my myriad experiences - of travel, nature, self, family and relationships. It is a candid articulation of my vast travel expeditions, trysts with nature, bonds with self and family, alluring times of passion and unrequited love and of the realization of true and fully bloomed love. I'm sure each of you can resonate with yours in some form as you read through these poems. After all, life dishes out different yet seemingly identical experiences for each of us.Each and every poem in this book is beautifully illustrated in color to make it visually appealing to the reader's eye.
