    About this ebook

    A very invigorating collection of poems delivered with a passion. It stimulates the mind and takes it to places only dreamt of in life. The collection discusses issues on love and disappointments, about the ups and downs of living everyday in this green and blue globe. It discusses happiness and sadness as a simile of breathing in and out. It is divided into books. Book 1:Cupidology rushes through love and hearbreaks. Book 2: Touches on the Philosophical aspect of life. Book3: Is for those with itchy legs that love traveling and exploring places. Book 4: Changing Tides, swirls through how life is always day and night, and these changes are what makes life enjoyable.While Book5 :Spiritual is about the spiritual aspect of life, such as the night of power and the whirlwind of illusion. Enjoy the journey

    WITHOUT LOVE

    Love slows time
    To a hault
    Days pass by
    And nights are no longer
    Dark

    Without love
    Food loses its taste
    And flowers are colourless
    Birds yell instead
    The sky remains grey

    Love moves mountains and
    Builds bridges
    Sets up fountains in the
    Desert, and milk comes out of
    Trees
    Without love......
