Melodies and Harmonies from the Heart

The poems have great power of observation and originality of imagination. The poems reveal consummate artistry and wealth of imagination and fancy that will certainly appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imagination. No doubt, in this poetry collection we find fruitful, varied and memorable poems. BIOI live in Wisconsin with my beloved wife, Manijeh. The simple lines I write attempt to express those promptings of the soul that well up from time to time. They originate from unexpected but welcomed insights, reflection on the more profound aspects of life, or everyday experiences. Poetry has the power to take flight to the high heavens and beyond; turn to the earth of the familiar and caress her gently; then dive deep into the bowels of profundity. It is this quality of poetry that allows it to walk the shores and enter the seas of receptive hearts, therein to swim, plunge, and ultimately, dive for the coral and pearls of some deeper meaning. It has the ability and power to express essence, beauty, love, and a host of other qualities. For this I continually strive. I hope some day to attain it.
