Poetry transcends time, conveying emotions through vivid imagery and metaphors express our innermost thoughts and experiences.
Ben's talent for verse has always been enchanting; a true romantic, he has crafted timeless poetry and sonnets throughout the milestones of our relationship.

it is the sky in which all weathers form."
