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 sensesthe 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 agesfrom 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.
This is definitely one of the best poetry books I have in possession. The cover art is beautiful to look at which is a plus for me. I highly recommend this book to poetry lovers.
