How dreamy, I thought, Dean wrote a book of love poems!
“Love”, it’s so beautiful…

..Well, yes! However, perhaps not exactly as I had envisioned.

Nonetheless, passion is very evident in these poems. It’s especially noted when I feel distance from the sexuality of love, but want to feel close to it.

Dean doesn’t squander the “love ” word. Yet, I feel puppy dog love eyes.
Dean is the dark horse running with lighter, brighter angels. His view, as always, remains true to his perceptions.

Sometimes I understood I was reading in a special language. “Evol Fo Seigolohtym Eht”
I have a fave poem in this book. “Poem For Ann Marie” & I must mention my second fave “The Market Place”. I won’t tell you why because I really think you should just read them for yourselves.

I’ll be ordering another Dean J. Baker book, in paperback, tomorrow. My collection is almost current!
You can read my reviews of ” The Eschatological Dog”
or “Silence Louder Than A Train”by clicking on the pics of the covers.
Dean is a prolific writer, and all of his many books are available on Amazon in EBook and/or Paperback. He even has his own Amazon page.

I see sadness in the lion’s eyes … and wow … the lady in the first pic is a hottie!
Yes, the hottie is our love focus. The piece is fantastic. Jarus is a very gifted artist, and his work in the field of ephemeral art is outstanding. example: https://graffitiluxandmurals.com/2014/06/19/jarus-sunglass-lass/
