Phases is a love letter to the everyman A collection of poems hung out to dry by dirty hands Blasphemously righteous, with a light twist on crisis An eyesore for the lifeless, but full of life for those pondering in silence. Love and Angst breath a disseminating euphoria across the pages... Pages that a sage would have. to make a map. of the heart of man. The stillness, the pauses, the fragmented clauses Listen between the lines to listen to what the heart says The circumstance ambiguous, irrelevant to the blissfulness Words splattered on the canvas, a timeless tale of youthful cognizance Yet ignorance one of the important players, a stage of mistakes and crumpled papers Caped crusaders a myth for the evils we face in drink and labor. That's life...a coming of age story chock full of regrets and worries A miseducation to educate. The lapses we have, and the memories we forsake. These words. These stories. This book. Poignant. True. Beautiful. A simple realization that...all you have to do is Be-You-To-Full. All of it. It Evokes a flame of passion for those who were passively gaining traction Rise up from the ashes, be inspired, toast to this man's valiant, romantic attachement. BY JAKE LOZANO
