Sensual Love Poems - Paperback

by Kathleen Blease (Author)

How does love speak? . . .
In the embrace where madness melts in bliss,
And the convulsive rapture of a kiss-
Thus doth Love speak.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

At the heart of love lies the quickening of the senses-the thrill of touch, the perfume of passion, the taste and the voice of love, the vision of the beloved.

And the convulsive rapture of a kiss-
Thus doth Love speak.

At the heart of love lies the quickening of the senses-the thrill of touch, the perfume of passion, the taste and the voice of love, the vision of the beloved.
Sensual love has inspired poets throughout the ages-from the Bible's beautiful Song of Songs to the lively evocations of sensual love and the private world of lovers created by such gifted contemporary poets as Stanley Kunitz, Maya Angelou, and W. S. Merwin. Here gathered are the truest and the loveliest- verses that tantalize the heart and celebrate the sweet turmoil of passion. Sensual Love Poems is a bouquet the freshness of which never fades, a feast for the senses . . . forever.
