Love Is.

What is love? The age-old question has a million answers, each one right in their own way. In our time on earth, love takes many forms, and our lives will be enriched by the experience of love in its every possible shape and color. The poems on these pages explore the many ways love manifests in and around us, as the reader is taken on an emotional journey from the whispers of unspoken wishes and the pangs of longing, to the spark of the first glance, the hunger of obsession, the tight bonds of a soul connection, the deep haunted void of love lost, and the warmth and joy of everything in between.
