About this title

About the Author

Ariana R. Cherry is a poet of many genres. She has written horror, poems of inspiration, romantic and those that are humorous. Although, she loves to use epic poetry as a unique way to tell a tale. "Only If" was created after Ariana's first encounter with stories from Edgar Allen Poe at 12 years old. She shared the story with her junior high literature teacher and a few friends, and then it sat for many, many years. Now in her 30's, Ariana picked the story back up, did some editing and rewrote a few lines to create this particular masterpiece. Most people can relate to the quarrels of life that involve love and jealousy - which is why she thinks many will enjoy this dark epic tale. When Ariana is not writing, she spends time creating as an artist, reporting for a local newspaper, working in a church office and being a mother to her teenage daughter.

From the Inside Flap

"Have I not gone crazy to be a gunman?

Am I insane to the hurt I have pursued?" he muttered....

I haven't uttered a word for years, I won't talk, I can't, he thought to himself...

"So much pain that it's worthless to even talk about.

Only if I didn't.

Why was I crazy?" he whispered, gripping the cold iron bars.

Only death upon one's self sounds like a miracle,

His mad thoughts provoked him.

His lifeless hands gripped the icy bars as he stared silently

and watched the guilty suspects come through and resist.

I once had innocence...until now, Bill thought to himself.
