Tales of Paraphrenia: A Collection of Poems

There are many kinds of madness. Some known and some unknown. Some seen and some unseen. Some cured and some not curable. All beings who claim to be human are born in moments of madness; not just in mayhem, but in the mundane, in the everyday, in this moment.

Look in any direction, the evidence is abundant.

So, the questions become how do our minds and hearts respond? How do our moral codes adjust? Do we have a moral code? How much do we contribute to the propagation of madness? How much do we conscientiously reject it in our daily lives?

These are some of the themes and dreams explored within the spine of this book. As a fellow sufferer, I hope, in my own feeble way, to shed some light where there is darkness; or, at least, create a meaningful dialogue of the soul.
