A Collection of Poems by Kampbell Hemeyer

In their full forms, they are actually song lyrics that I have written over the span of three years, and with each one radiates a different melody to me. I hope that the reader feels that same melodic effect that I felt when I wrote them, and that they are able to find their own meaning within each line.
