But now I know so I'm here.

'Nostalgia' is a journey that I've taken deep into the halls of my soul for three years, a lapse in the discernment of reality that caused me to dive into the streets of my heart and pull out all the longings that ever resided in there.
To call it merely a collection of poems would be an injustice for it's more of a journal holding the record of all the feelings, thoughts, events and songs tinting my life for the past three years which is why I have a strong emotional connection with my readers.
The beginning constitutes of rhyming poems because I found it easy to write two years ago. Or maybe for no reason at all? However, towards the middle, I started writing free verse and used lowercase alphabets for such poems. But I'd call it a kaleidoscope of both. If you're curious, free verse along with its inspiration can be found in my poem called 'Metaphors' and afterwards.
I aimed at writing a poetic introduction but went against it for, in a book of 198 poems, some prose could do, no? ^-^

~ to hearts that roam the streets of nostalgia
~ to souls dispersed over the wind as scattered memories
~ to eyes that have cried tears in the embrace of darkness
~ to voices lost in the awe of silence
~ to sighs that failed to escape the restraints of sanity
~ to angels that came and stayed while everyone left
~ to caress of insanity that never let go of me

Thank you to everyone who read my book and commented on it. I had to make collages to add as many comments I could but there are hundreds of them and I cannot include all of them even if I want to. I know, I don't get to reply to all of them but I want you to know that I've read your words and I appreciate each one. You are the reason I made it till here. Thank you! ^-^
