Because this woman was a mystery"
Romantically charged poetry is certain nothing new but the author of this book gives the genre a more modern twist concerning his inspiration and muses. In this collection are over one hundred poems composed and compiled based on the profiles of women on dating sites or the interactions he has with said women. The selections range from reflections on unrequited affection to full on lustful fantasies, made all the more effective with explicit details and imagery. At times the focus is on personality traits and physical features, other times focusing more on sexual acts and remembered or imagined trysts. The line between reality and fantasy blurs as the mood of each poem alternates between the achievement of satisfaction and yearning desire. In every new poem the author presents a new thrilling possibility that lets the mind and body wonder in anticipation.
Every poem in this collection is written with a certain woman in mind, calling into imagination her manner of dress, the way she carries or describes herself, or the way she behaves herself in bed. Not every poem in this collection focuses on explicit sexual encounters, but the erotic nature of this title is a fairly constant theme. The variations on this theme present themselves through each unique situation or fantasy presented on every page, in each poem. Whether in the mood for something adult and adventurous or just looking for a collection of poems with a fresh and unique angle, these are poems created to satisfy and stoke that curious urge.
Traditionally, when people write poems of love and affection, they usually recall moments of courtship or quiet moments of togetherness. As the title of this book implies, the author focuses instead on acts of sexuality, real or imagined. It goes without saying that based on the adult nature of these poems, this book should only be enjoyed by mature audiences. The actual structure of the book is pretty loose and free, not getting bogged down in a consistent rhyming structure but also not eschewing one altogether. There is some repetition in the focus at times, but that likely has more to do with the author's personal tastes and desires than anything else. Overall, the tone of the book is playful, cheeky, and maybe a little mischievous.
The amount of poetry contained in this volume is impressive, and the length of each poem varies between a couple of stanzas to a few that spread across two pages. It won't take more than an afternoon to get through this breezy read, but it can also be savored and enjoyed in small bursts over a much longer period of time. The perspective of the author should be easily understandable by anyone with an active sexual appetite or for someone using a dating site hoping that it would lead to something more. The end result is something people can enjoy whether reading just for entertainment or to spark a romantic encounter. Enjoyed privately or with a partner, this collection of poetry is certain to set the mood.
