The Cold, Dark Sea

By Michael Grasser

The Cold, Dark Sea is a collection of poems, written over the period of a year, that tells a story of love, loneliness, hope, and ultimately letdown. It contains my heart and all of its hopes and fears during that year

From the back cover:

Life is like a table covered with scattered puzzle pieces. As we move through time, we try to complete our puzzle, finding pieces from many different places. Sometimes, we force pieces together that don't fit in an effort to get our puzzle together, because that is what the world expects.

But what happens later when we find the pieces that are meant to fit with our own? Do we throw them away or hide them, ashamed that we forced pieces together before? If we stick with the mismatched pieces, we will still have a completed picture in the end, but a picture of what? If we forced pieces together, the picture won't make any sense, and we'll be disappointed in the end.

What you will find within is a collection of poems that tell the story of my heart, after I thought I found my missing puzzle piece...
