Omnia Vincit Amor: (Love Conquers All) Brian Daly

"Omnia Vincit Amor" translated to English means Love Conquers All. Translated once more through the mind of a young man looking for a reason to exist, means to do what you love... and I love to write. When I close my eyes I hear words that correspond to my feelings. These words dance in my head and change order, meaning and annunciation until they settle like grains of sugar in a glass of Kool Aid. Some words I have absolutely no idea what they meant where I picked them up but they always seem to pertain to my demeanor at the time of the writings conception. I don't question this mental word play; I just put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard and see what happens. The following works are a result of this randomly scatterbrained writing process. There is no formula, outline or structure to my writings which is what I believe to be a summary of my mind and is as close to it as you can get without knowing me intimately. My goal is to share my life via ink in the hope that others can relate to, or at least understand me as I am a fan of differentiation & variety. "To create is the most individualistic of human traits" and these poems are as individual as the people who read them. I am only a writer, some people like to read, and some would rather listen. Whatever you do, do it and love it with a passion
