The Fume of Sighs

How do YOU relate to love? Is love a tummy full of butterflies, the magic of that first kiss, or being swept away in a romantic dream? Maybe love is heart breaking, empty, or deceptive? Perhaps love is hopeful, strong, or able to bend to the point of breaking-and then bend a little more? The Fume of Sighs shows that love encompasses all of these, and so much more. The Fume of Sighs is a poetry compilation dedicated to love, love lost, and love renewed. It carries the reader through the author's own dealings with love and showcases twenty-seven years worth of poetry concerning love's many faces. Each of the three featured sections represents a different perspective regarding love. The first section, Love, is all about that first, explosive, stars-in-your-eyes kind of love that we all hope to experience. The second section, Love Lost, deals with when that warm, fuzzy love changes, dissolves, or turns into something that was never expected. Finally, the third section, Love Redefined, revisits love, but with new eyes, and a more mature heart. It gives love the second chance that it deserves. Each poem is richly evocative, and conveys the author's heartfelt emotion. Wish, dream, ponder, feel your heart break, and then piece it back together again through the beauty that is The Fume of Sighs.
