The poems in this book reflect the deepest longings of the human heart. They celebrate and explore love and loss, life and lust, expressing the ecstasies and mysteries of love and grief and longings of all kinds, from the erotic to the seemingly divine to love of country, to the love of true friendship. From the ethereal to the everyday, from the simple to the complex, these poems encompass what it is to be truly human; especially in the relationship to and with the lover – that one person that can capture a heart or destroy it.
