"Lyrical Love Lines..." is a book of love poetry written from a whole different prospective and much better style than the typical "Roses are red, violets are blue" type poems that maybe you've heard and read. It's chapters are categorized into three aspects: Love, Problems and Passion to either help inspire healthier relationships, aide in decreasing dismay or animosity if things go wrong in the relationship or perhaps increase the desire and intimate emotions for your particular partner. Every reader may not be able to relate to every single poem in the book but should be able to find some poems that fits their relationship, respectively. Also, since everyone's emotions might not be as strong for their partner as some of the poems displayed in the books writings or they might not be able to relate to the entire poem, readers are encouraged to be creative and ad lib parts of the poems to their liking, as long as it is not done with the intention to plagiarize or have self-claim. For instance, since the author of the poetry is of the male gender, the poems was written from a male-to-female prospective but females are free to ad lib and change parts of the poetry to fit their gender. Therefore, explains the latter part of the title "...Of Yours And Mine" because the author hopes that this book will benefit the readers as much as it has benefited him in points of some of his relationships. Although this book would make an excellent Valentine's Day gift, nevertheless, it is a book that could be enjoyed all year long.
