Amazon Book Description
This Collection of Poetry is entirely about love.
I hope you enjoy reading the contents herein.
What does the word «love» conjure up to you?
Everyone has a different take on it.
I have even heard it described as a mental illness!
I would not know in that respect, but I will leave you with this thought.
«The armour we wear is designed to see who cares. Love is a battlefield.
We should choose our wars carefully».
Roberta Eaten’s Review
Ephemeral Encounters is a delightful collection of love poems. I am always fascinated by poets’ descriptions and interpretations of this particular human emotion. It has been, and continues to be, responsible for much suffering among people and has even been a contributing factor to the fall of nations and the outbreak of wars. I am an efficient person, so the turbulent and intense aspects of romantic love have passed me by. Still, I endlessly try to understand it, and this compelling collection certainly helped.
The poet has examined romantic love in all its permutations, writing about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the experience. The poems are personal, entwining imagery from day-to-day life, which is very relatable. The poems are also beautifully written.
One of my favourite poems from this collection, which demonstrates what I have said above, is Threads:
Threads
We are all pieces of threads
each one of us as fragile as the rest.
Waiting for someone to
sew us to their hearts
and keep us there no matter what.
Many of us will end up
in a box with all the
other loose threads no one wanted.
At some juncture in
the future, discarded.
We are the loose ends of life
never intended to be someone's lover or wife.
Just a piece of threat that
could not find a needle
in the sewing box of life.
The emotion in this poem is raw and heart-wrenching.
If you have ever been in love, or would like to be, this book of passionate poems will resonate with you. Highly recommended.
