Love at the Speed of Light

Book excerpt: Love at the Speed of Light is a collection of poems for people who believe in love.Love is a paradoxical power that can explode in a Big Bang and evolve at the speed of light-or it can silently brighten the nights like stars burning for billions of years. There is a hypnotic magic in losing oneself in the thoughts of one's beloved. The verses in this book speak of this magic. They also explore the feelings of unrequited love, or how lovers sustain themselves when the world tears them apart, and about mistakes made in rash moments that the heartbroken lovers come to regret.This book explores a range of emotions felt by young lovers-from the all-consuming epic thrill of experiencing first love, to the heart-wrenching pain of separation and loss. There's also the bittersweet pain of long distance love, where the pangs of parting are offset by the anticipation of meeting again. If you've ever been in love, these poems will make your heart sing and take you on a journey to experience the highs and lows of love.
