Tears of a Rose... Ronald Montgomery

Tears of a Rose

With Tears of a Rose, Ronald Montgomery transports the reader on a journey to rediscover the voices of nearly forgotten emotions. In his poems, love, beauty friendship and pain are more than concepts. They move through our memories and peek around corners at the most unexpected times, to expose dust covered feelings. They speak to the reader's senses and give voice to memories that languish in realms hidden, but not forgotten.

In his writing, Ronald continually changes perspective. He takes us on journeys to explore the human condition. In these explorations, he shares an unbridled desire to look at, to look behind, and to look beyond the walls of a body that contains us. This captive spirit speaks now through these poems and often describes the mirrored walls of self-discovery. At other times, he talks of a world seen through bars - a world in view, but out of touch. And, as a final offering, he exercises what seems an unfettered imagination, and practiced storytelling skills to repeat lore and oral history of the heart.
