Subterfuge of Love Volume One

Poems which are gathered from here, there, and everywhere; especially those places where they maybe should never have been in the first place.A compendium of poetry, sorted by happenstance into collections, each of around one hundred poems.Poems pulled together from several decades of writing; they share a lineage; mostly, but not always, they are written with one person in mind.Poems driven by lust, driven by love; driven by being close, driven by being far away; poems of waiting with longing, or perhaps poems of longing with waiting.There may be angst, but there isn't meant to be; the aches, the pains, the losses, they have all subsided; the therapy of the writing has proven to be sufficient.There is some chronology at play, yet the poems are not strictly in chronological order; the muse was met before I was able to rest my hand on her firm tummy.Further editions are in a live state; only today another poem escaped from my mind, as I stood neither poised, nor prepared, behind the ironing board.Will there be an end to this muse, will there be an end to this writing, will there be a reconciliation for the poetry, or will the poems remain, as ever, thoroughly unrequited.
