    About this ebook

    Love comes in many shapes and sizes. Boundless in energy and unable to be tied down, Cupid shoots his arrow into the hearts of others time and time again. Just as effortlessly as our spirits are enlivened with the rapture of love, they can so easily wallow when incurred with heartbreak. White Dove and Evenings Pass serves as a reminder that one of lifes greatest rewards is well worth the risk.

    S A Ruof is a former teacher and coach, who grew up and still lives in Ohio. The son of a railroader and teacher, and the youngest of four children, he earned his degree from Bowling Green State University. Having successfully completed twenty-four years of teaching, the author is excited with beginning a new career in casino management.

    Filled with candid observations and dry wit, S A Ruof uses vivid imagery and his own experiences to weave together a series of poems that will move anyone who has been versed in the lessons of love.
