"There cannot be a quiet end..." I had heard once, from someone, somewhere, sometime. From childhood acquaintances or junkies on the streets. And so, here I am, yet another poem book. I've moved to Europe. Sold everything to follow a dream that seems dimmer to achieve now, than whence before I left to chase after it. A life far from quiet in the moment that is for sure. So, forgive the turmoil of the rhyme, of the sequence in which each poem is set. A poem is different for everyone. Means something different to each who recites the passion of the Poet. I hope you enjoy this collection.

What is a poem? A memory of the flesh that portrays deceits of love and lust? Or flashes of memories of the soul that no one can see except through words that dance across the page? A poem is different for everyone. Means something different to each who recites the passion of the Poet. We read poetry to escape the mundane. We write it to provide an avenue of sharing tears and triumphs. Nothing expresses heart and soul more than poetry. Enjoy!

Perhaps the poet is the most dangerous of all artists. For their work was never meant for the public at large, but for the self, who dared attempt to know one's own heart and soul. Enter the second book of poems by Brian Dennis Hartford which centers around love, loss, and hopeful possibilities. Enjoy!

The death of David's father and the inheritance of a half-million-dollar sailboat might have been Samantha and David's Boyd's saving grace, providing the escape from their dead-end, lackluster careers and suburban LA lifestyle. On a whim they would leave it all behind to enter the uncharted territory of a life at sea. They would soon fall to the charms of the exotic and mysterious Céline Boulangèr as they set sail for her home on the island of Mo'orea, where a world of seduction, intrigue, and danger awaits upon the Tahitian sunset.

What are poems, if not memories of the soul ? A voice, speaking to a life once lived, or yet to be lived. Of love and lust. Of broken relationships long lost to the winds of time, forever haunting. Brian Dennis Hartford's Collection of Poems does just this, as he takes the reader on a journey into the far past and sometimes the future, of which are unforgiving in the whispers of lost promises. Where souls are crushed upon battle fields in epic feats of daring or in the mourning of life's inevitable passing's left to languish, ever waiting for a time when two souls might be whole again.
