Cupid's Arrow

"Love." Such an exquisite word. It is the fundamental longing of every human soul. It can also be the undoing of the human heart. We may search for wealth, success, freedom, stature and prestige, but underneath it all, there is no lasting joy in any of that without that someone, that one special person that loves us, champions us as we champion them, and shares our every mistake and victory with us. "Love." That sometimes, illusive yearning we hold secretly inside, the need to be of importance to someone, the need to have someone who is important to us; the most basic, yet the most important human desire, is the pinnacle of our lives or the undoing of it.This exquisite Anthology, a collection of sublime poems and prose, tells of the essence of love, as music to the ears and the stirring to our hearts. From "Love at First Sight," to "Love Never Dies," every facet of love is gloriously depicted in the many lovely chapters given to us from these gifted poets. Come, fall in love, remember the taste of it, the feel of it within. Come cry a few tears, then rejoice its victories. "Love." conquers all.Brenda-Lee Ranta, author of A Soul Passenger
