Every house has a window. This is where you first look in.
A Window to My Soul is the first book of The House of Me, a collection of poetry and prose written over three years of quiet nights and turbulent days. It moves from darkness into light, through loss, healing and growth. Some poems are quiet observations. Others pour out raw emotion.
The book is arranged in three movements:
For the Classics: love in all its forms. First butterflies, fireworks, the people we've loved and the ones who taught us how. Includes Sonnet #1, Love Is, Butterflies and To Every Girl I've Ever Loved.
For the Mind: the inner monologue. Identity, pride, self-doubt and the courage to keep it real. Includes Melanin, Midnight Thoughts, Between the Spaces and 40.
For the Family: the roots that hold it all up. Tributes to a mother, brothers, sons and fathers, and to the sacrifices that built a life. Includes Gloria, My Boys, To My Old Man and Sacrifice.
The book is dedicated to the author's mother, Gloria Ann Jones. It is offered as a glimpse into one man's soul and as a mirror for anyone who has struggled to find peace in uncertain times. At the end there's a space for you to write your own.
Now with a second life in music: several of these poems have been recorded as songs on the album A Window to My Soul by M4TTY G, streaming on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.
This second edition features a newly designed cover made to match the full House of Me series.
The House of Me series:
- A Window to My Soul
- The Door to My Skin
- Fragments of My Mind (coming soon)
Start at the window. Then step through the door.
