Between Sunset and Sunrise There Exists a Broken Heart These Are Its Words

By M. Adonis Layne

This book of poems is about heartbreak, the heartbreak of being in love with someone whose love was just out of reach. It made no difference if we were on opposite sides of the earth or sitting across from each other at a candlelit table; her love was always just out of reach. You ask yourself why he would torture himself in such a way. My answer would be, if you knew her like I did, that question would never even enter your mind. Add to the mix that she never knew how much I loved her and there you have a recipe for a poetry book of brokenhearted poems.

* ACKNOWLEDGEMENT *

TAKU NISHIMAE

President/Senior Producer at Zengo Inc

Taku has been a friend of mine for over 30 years, our relationship started as a working one but in a very short amount of time developed into one brothers, where East met West, in a blend of creativity, family and love, with his support this book would still be in my hard drive, and not on printed page, we are not like brothers to each other, we are brothers.

Susan Miree and Sheila Sturks

these two ladies over the years have suffered through some of the worse poems anyone could endure, but have always, pushed me to continue writing, and when they saw there saw a hint of talent, they pushed me even more, until I had a small body of work they thought was good, then the real pressure started, they pushed me to perform at small clubs book readings, and at times just for them (those were the ones I enjoyed the most) then came the day they told me it's time to publish my work, that’s when the real pressure started, with each new poem i wrote their voices got louder, and more threatening, but in a loving way, so thanks to the both of you ladies and your unending pushing me to publish my work, I'm here, I love the both of you for getting me to this point, and always will.

Lolita and Grady Crumply

This couple has been a recent addition to my very small circle of friends, but their love for one another, has left a lasting impression on me, I don’t believe in reincarnation, but I should come back by any chance, I want to comeback as them, btw did I mention that they are not a young couple, (sorry guys) but their love is ..

To my daughters,

Karen, Kim, Lauren, Jazmyn, Lexington

Because I love them and my grandsons Kj and Kenzo do more than granddaddy did

To my Facebook friendsand family

Thank you for the likes, comments and shares of my work.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. It does not brag, does not get puffed up, 5 does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails.

* A DIAMOND HEART *

It is a known fact

That the diamond is the hardest

Natural thing on earth

They are formed under great pressure and heat

So they are very hard

But if hit just right

It can be cut

Or shattered into many pieces

With just a slight tap

The heart is like that diamond

It can take a great amount of pressure

And heat

It can be hard and can take a lot

But like that diamond if hit just right

With the slightest

Words and actions

It too will break and shatter

Into many pieces

My heart is that diamond

Notes

* A HARD WORLD *

If I don't think hard

How can I become a better man

If I don't work hard

How can I provide for you

If I don't fight hard

How can I protect you

If i don't love hard

How can I satisfy you

This is a hard world

Snd it takes a hard man
