What Are Love's Boundaries?: Love Poems of Romance, Spirituality, Passion and Desire, Hurt and Pain Clarence Oliver

The dimensions of love explored in this collection of poems, "What Are Love's Boundaries? is riveting, broad, packed with feelings and "poignantly disquieting". From the book's title poem, that clearly establishes "love has no boundaries" and continues with the roles and emotions of love in other areas of our lives, 'love' is revered as "the center of the universe for all things good".

The author has uniquely captured the power of love, its' joy, special feelings, spirituality, the sharing of and need for love. This can be a joyous celebration of a 'seasoned and enduring love' , "A Love That Will Never Fade". It can be clear as light and a revelation, "A Spiritual Revelation of Womanhood". Love can be a remembrance of youthful and innocent love, "The Forty-Year Old Flickering Flame of Love"; a mild craving as in "Why Do You Deny Me You?" or a deeply erotic and passionate need for total fulfillment, "The Wicked, Wicked Tongue of Love". Love is the joy of tender moments and shared warm sensations, "The Silent Dance of the Spoons (A Ritual of Lovers)". The 'hurt and pain' of love is revealed and explored in "Walking All Alone" and "She Said, He Said".

"What Are Love's Boundaries?" will underscore the rewards of love for all of us who desire to feel, embrace, hold and commit to another individual and share the bounties of a maturing, evolving and satisfying relationship.
