FLAME OF LOVE (The Spark of GOD) A cynical man falls irresistibly in love "at first sight" with a beautiful village girl that is half his age. In his fervent quest for answers to the cause and origin of this unusual attraction, he follows the flame of this love on a journey that takes him across seas, over lands, above mountains, and beyond. Eventually, he realizes that in seeking to know and understand this love, he led himself to answer the questions that have bothered him most of his life such as, why do we fall in love at first sight? Are there soul mates? Why are we here on earth? Why are we what we are in life? And what happens after death? FLAME OF LOVE IS DUE FOR RELEASE THIS MONTH |
DESCRIPTION OF POEMS OF LIFE Poems of Life 2ND Edition, even more than the wonderful 1st Edition remains a rare compilation of insightful verses addressing the truth and realities of life compelling the reader to take some time to reflect on life. In this 2ND EDITION of the book - POEMS OF LIFE, Oliver goes ahead to create a bridge between different cultures and societies by broadening the already extensive field dealt with in POEMS OF LIFE 1st Edition. More African topics include NEW MOON, MANY WIVES OF OUR FATHER, and ROUGH DARK NIGHT, all carrying an African historical introduction. True to the title of the book Poems of Life, Parts six and seven delve further into issues of life, love and living. Part six directly provides the reader with additional food for thought in sonnet form. Part seven, while also making the use of sonnets, introduces a new style of poetry writing that Oliver calls - "Introduced (African Folklore)" Poetry. In addition to other didactic poems, there are more comments in sonnet form taking on topics like RELATIONSHIPS, LOVE, DEATH, PROBLEMS, DESIRE, FREEDOM, and more, all filled with thoughtful messages compelling the reader to take a moment to reflect on the meaning of life. "When Thy Youth Is Set To Leave" explodes with an exhortation not to waste our youth. "Precious Gem" is a romantic package for the appreciative lover. "Another New World" offers an amusing but revealing look at the world, from the eyes of a newborn baby. "Life: The Unfinished Business" is a philosophical reminder that we make our life what it is which is the volume's overriding theme. |
