An undiscovered treasure has risen amidst the ashes of burned time. The diaries of a starving poet were found and their contents revealed. Inside the fragile pages lie the words of what seemed a hopeless romantic. The whereabouts of the author and the subjects acknowledged in his verses are unknown. How long the diaries have been lost is also unknown. All is known is what he describes of himself in his two autobiographical pieces found in the beginning. The writer also makes known the great passion for those discussed as each poem written is dedicated to whom may have been his love at a particular time. Though the names were left out, it would be no trouble for the subjects to recognize which work is to them. However, he meant for his feelings not to be publicized. Such can be seen through the title sketched at the beginning of his great work at the time of discovery- The Secret Diaries of Jean Batiste.
