These poems were Inspired by people in life who have experienced love in many different ways. From Long-lasting love to short-term love affairs, too fantasy love. From friends to people I've never met only seen walking by holding hands looking into one another's eyes. Too other's who experience ups and downs in love where they had to say good-bye, Also desires of wanting to be loved even for the moment of wondering if. Inspirations of couples who I know that are still in a loving relationship. True Love always inspires me. I've also turned the negative to a positive showing that We all learn from those we meet in life, although they may not be who we expect But have shared our lives with them. Life holds many experiences too learn from some good and some not so good. They have inspired me to write of both. Some Are of my own learning's which I get to express as well, come out of my dreams Is about a guy who appears in my dreams but not in reality. One who we all some How have a fantasy man or woman who we wish would come out to reality. Whisper it is a poem about letting go and not being shy when it comes to love or Desire. Poems of wondering like Would you say will it be hit or miss. Desires like Your very touch that stays on one's mind. Your what I desire someone who desires Someone to the point of being able have that longing desire. From Love is like a Fire where one gets burned by love's lies. Love can be bitter love can be sweet it Makes you feel many things. Questions of love wondering does he or could I be Falling in love are questions we may all wonder when it comes to love. Even don't want to say good-bye about someone who is in love but knows Its better to say good-bye even though it hurts inside leaves many desires sometimes Saying good-bye is best it's one of life's tests. A special love was inspired by my Best friend and her husband who met in high school and share that love still to this very day. Keeps me believing in love is out there for all. Unconditional love Is what most desire where love can be shared by two openly two who believe One another sharing desires and dreams. These poems gave me a chance to look into the deeper feelings of joy and pain. In life we all experience some kind of love. Shows us that life has a lot of surprises in store for all of us.

Download or read book The Great Fires written by Jack Gilbert and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JOYCE'S MOTTO has had much fame but few apostles. Among them, there has been Jack Gilbert and his orthodoxy, a strictness that has required of this poet, now in the seventh decade of his severe life, the penalty of his having had almost no fame at all. In an era that puts before the artist so many sleek and official temptations, keeping unflinchingly to a code of "silence, exile, and cunning" could not have been managed without a show of strictness well beyond the reach of the theater of the coy. The "far, stubborn, disastrous" course of Jack Gilbert's resolute journey--not one that would promise in time to bring him home to the consolations of Penelope and the comforts of Ithaca but one that would instead take him ever outward to the impossible blankness of the desert--could never have been achieved in the society of others. What has kept this great poet brave has been the difficult company of his poems--and now we have, in Gilbert's third and most silent book, what may be, what must be, the bravest of these imperial accomplishments.

Download or read book Anatomy of a Poet written by C. J. Heck and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry can be daunting and hard to understand, but it doesn't have to be. I feel a poet has an obligation to write in a way that everyone can understand. Poems should flow softly through a poet's words, their meanings gently caressing the heart and mind of its reader. If a poem comes from the heart, it will reach other hearts, and this is what I've tried to do with the poetry in "Anatomy of a Poet." CJ Heck "Like a rose with many petals and sharing its sweet aroma, this is how I see and feel about the love of my life, CJ Heck. She is my electric blue-eyed girl. She can be both a little girl, or a strong woman, whenever and wherever the situation calls for it. She is both sensuous and exciting, and soft and affectionate. Tragedy struck her life early with the death of her husband in Vietnam. This experience laid open the very core of her heart and soul and opened the channel to a well of compassion and sensitivity that waited deep within. Her pain was the fertilizer that helped her bloom as a writer. CJ's poetry is not a surface observation, but a soulful interpretation of the events and people that inspired her. She writes both eloquently and simply of things that touch her heart, things she wants to share. She is gifted at painting a picture with words on the heart and imagination of others, thereby communicating not just an image, but a life experience. I feel very honored to have been asked to write this introduction and share my feelings about CJ Heck. She is the water for my soil, the sunlight for my petals and the nurturer of my growth. Sit back, open your heart and enjoy the journey as revealed through her words, images and emotions. You are blessed by this opportunity to know her in words, as I know her in life." Robert S. Cosmar, Author "This is my kind of poetry. Direct, beautifully expressed and without a hint of pretension." Allison Cassidy "CJ is predominately viewed as a writer of works for children, but CJ now carries over her approach to more adult themes. In doing so, she presents a profound world that is deeply sad, incredibly humorous and sometimes very intimate." Joseph Daly "I love learning new words, especially when they are explained with such diaphanous clarity. Whether she talks of love, children, life, or any other subject, CJ's words are always clear and harmonious. She makes us forget that easy to read is hard to write." Marc Mimouni (London, United Kingdom) "CJ Heck is a very talented author. Her words are enlightening and charismatic to people of all ages. It is a privilege and honor to read her prolific pen." Janet Caldwell (Managing Editor, Inner Child Magazine
