    About this ebook

    The name of the book is A Shadows Heart (An Effect of Emotion as the subtitle). The poems were inspired by life difficulties and challenges, and a few were inspired by the things I love and heartbreaking moments. Some of the interesting collections of my poetry are Beautiful, Blue, and Black, It was long time ago. A poem freaked that people out is Lost life. A poem that teens will really enjoy is Childish Mistakes. This book contains a variety of poems that most people might relate to and enjoy.

    Marleina Joào Matsinhe

    My name is Marleina Matsinhe. I was born in Mozambique in the capital city of Maputo in year 1991. My family immigrated while I was a child to South Africa in the city of Johannesburg. I always loved reading poetry and story books. At the age of 11, I realized that I have an amazing talent. I write my poetry through inspiration and life experiences. My very first inspiration was the colour yellow. The love for poetry kept me growing with fascinating ideas and poetry made me who I am today!

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      I have an amazing talent, one that expresses emotions, deep thoughts through words of which I understand my inner self. I’m able to speak to my pen and let the ink flow in its wonders as it leaves trails of words behind, allowing my mind and heart to take over with words of Honesty, expressing betrayal, heartbreaks, sadness, love, life’s troubles and truths, it’s joys, smiles and tears. Now the world is able to read my writing and relate to it. I wouldn’t have had the courage and wisdom to publish my Book without the Great Lord God. He has bastioned me with the gift of writing and understanding me, my feelings and my interpretations of life. My mom Armandina
