Synopsis
Poetry can be a very intimate glimpse into a person's life, and within the enclosed tapestry of light and dark, life and death, love lost and found, we find images of Alren Bernard Shaw's experience as he shares the rollercoaster his soul rides through happiness, melancholy, joy, peace, and despair with equal fervor in The Memoirs of Kristapher's Dad.
While the love shared between two people permeates his work, Mr. Shaw also shares his despair with us, reflecting on the many facets and moods of love and life. The Memoirs of Kristapher's Dad allows a closer look into Alren Bernard Shaw's life through the power of his descriptive words, encouraging us to explore and share some of the feelings, thoughts, and experiences within ourselves.Author Bio
Taking the title of his book for his first-born child's name, Dallas native Alren Bernard Shaw took pen in hand and presents a poetic collection of some positive and negative experiences of his soul.
Excerpt
ArtistA feeling among feelings
A man true to his cause
Eyes buried among his canvas
A day compared to none other
Because his thoughts are from no other day
Looking outside to see an antique land
To portray what's seen through his mind
Like a deaf mute being taught the feeling of something cold
As a first impression to make his own impression
Pregnant with three-dimensional thinking
He sees past what I see on a different plane of reality
It can be beautiful
It can be teaching
It can be emotional
I see my thoughts of this work on my plane of reality
Same as he did when he first became the mother
Of his first love, the one of many children.

This is what I told her in the center of my love for her...
ironically...
love you you
For no reason at all-
and yet at the same time...
I love you...
For all the reasons I can think of.
