Publisher's Synopsis
This is my first collection of love poems. I have published poems before in anthologies, magazines and the poetry website Secret Attic as a competition finalist and prize winner. We all find love at some point on this life's road. In these poems, I explore the complex journey of feelings, emotions and hopes lived out between shared souls, that become dashed in human hurts and reborn with someone else. These poems explore loves myriad paths, it's succulent sweetness and dark despair. They try to touch that nerve in each of us, in a way that is romantic but real, traditional yet modern. Some of these poems are sensual and erotic, but they all try to convey meaning and understanding. This is my journey of love found, lived, lost and found again. From pleasures peak to the wilderness and back again. This journey is the reason we wake up each day and want to be alive. It is the door we keep open inside and hope will never close, for to love and be loved, means we are not alone. Welcome and well met. Strider
