Poems Of Love And Pain

Poems of Love and Pain is meant to show that people aren’t alone in this world and that others have the same feelings that they do. This collection of poems and letters were sent to ladies I have loved though the years. It includes my feelings, hopes, dreams, love, and my pain. My heart and soul are trapped between these lines, showing my raw emotions and letting the ink flow to express myself the only way I can. I was born July 19, 1976 in Brooklyn, New York. I have two sisters and loving parents, but I’ve had a hard time dealing with love and the pain it can bring. I’m very romantic and my feelings get hurt easily. I love big and get hurt big. I’m the type who will love a woman endlessly and forever. I began writing at age 16 and never stopped. Moments get captured in my mind like a camera, creating snapshots of my memories to never let them go. I hold a lot in, but write everything down, as it’s the only way I know to express my feelings.

The late feminist icon and author of over twenty books, including her classic New York Times bestseller All About Love, bell hooks reminds us of the good and bad moments we spend in love through her inspiring poetry. Written from the heart, When Angels Speak of Love is a book of 50 love poems by the icon of the feminist movement and most famous among public intellectuals. In beautiful, profoundly poetic terms, hooks challenges our views and experiences with love—tracing the link between seduction and surrender, the intensity of desire, and the anguish of death. Whether towards family, friends, or oneself, hooks's creative genius makes love both magical and beautiful.

The book is divided into two main chapters; "The Book of Pain," and "The Book of Love," with each main chapter culminating with the sub-chapters; "The Last Chapter," and "The Limited-Edition Chapter." The book contains a total of 200 poems, split between the two main chapters, with the two sub-chapters, each having 10 poems.I wrote Love and Pain at different phases of my life. The first bit of the book, "The Book of Pain," was written at a very difficult point in my life. A lot of things were going terribly wrong, and I needed an outlet to help deal with that pain, and the difficulty of those situations, hence the "Book of Pain," came to be. It is a collection of poems that helps to deal with pain, at times taking it head on, or viewing it from the side-lines, but nevertheless, letting you the reader experience the emotion of pain through words. In writing this bit of the book, I learnt the beauty of shared pain and the importance of letting it run its course, rather than trying to fight it, and thus finding healing in the process. I hope that while reading it, you will find healing through the appreciation of pain."The Book of Love," is more of like the chapter of life that comes after the storm; when you are trying to pick up the pieces after the troubles and pains have settled. However, this stage of life is not viewed from a point of anguish and pain due to what you have lost, but from the beauty that comes with losing those things and being okay with it, and a deeper understanding that what happened, had to happen, in order for you to get to a point of genuine happiness and harmony with what was and what is. In a way, this seems like a paradox, but I hope in reading this bit, you come out at the end filled with love.Love and Pain is a journey meant to be experienced in its entirety.
