Cut Both Ways: Peaks & Valleys Of A Passionate Relationship Expressed Through Poetry

By P.S. Rowland

In a relationship more often than not, both parties are not
passionate people. Passionate, not necessarily in a romantic
sense, but about life in general; feeling strongly about goals,
interests, ideas and yes, dreams and love.
Usually one is a taker, one a giver. The old adage “opposites
attract”, or do they? This collection of works will delve into the
life of a relationship where both individuals are extremely
artistic, intense, passionate about life, and fierce about love.

Cut Both Ways will carry you along a beautiful path of love,
grief, elation, inspiration, and passion. A journey not many
experience in their lifetime; delving deep within the emotions
of two creative, romantic, intense, and passionate soulmates.
The author demonstrates great skill, allowing the reader to feel
the ecstasy, excitement, and disturbance portrayed in each
poem. Stirring the desires of the heart and soul, which come
into play when two beautiful souls are more than just in love,
more than in a relationship, where two become one. The
dynamics and intensity of these poems will transport you into
a world so precious, it will take your breath away.
