Review of Emotions Cut Deep Passions Run Free
Who has not experienced love at least once in their life? If you have experienced love, then heartbreak and pain are inevitable. We all go through these experiences of love, beauty, passion, heartbreak, and loneliness. If you want to submerge yourself in the world of poetry to find yourself in it, then read this book, Emotions Cut Deep Passions Run Free by Eric S Tier.
The book features a compilation of largely free-verse poems, with some rhyming verse in between. The poems in the book explore the author's emotions as he moves from intense love to anger and bitterness, in addition to loneliness—things that take place at various stages of a relationship before he has to say goodbye. Each poem focuses on a single aspect of his relationship. These aspects include beauty, love, passion, heartbreak, grief, tragedy, saying goodbye, loneliness, and even random thoughts. Throughout the book, the author searches for one more chance at the love he has lost.
There are several things I liked about this book. I admire the courage of the author to write this book authentically and publish it for everyone to read. Because I am going through a similar experience, I found the author's poems to be particularly relevant. Some words literally described what I felt at the same time and made a strong emotional impact on me. The author has done well in providing a balance of feel-good and sorrow-based poems throughout the book. Some of the poems that I appreciated and felt connected to were: Must Everything Be a Riddle, Passions Freedom, Fall, In the Eyes of the Beholder, Innocence Lost, Saying Nothing, As the Stars Shine, What I Am Not, Independence, Lonely is the Heart, Sadness fell upon me, and The Passion that Burns Inside and What Life Has to Offer. The book contains some interesting ideas, like that life's too short to worry about the future and too long to forget the painful past.
Sometimes I felt the author went overboard with free verse poems, which can feel repetitive or monotonous. I think more variety of poetry should have been used here by having more rhyme-verse poems. However, this could be due to my preference for rhymes. Also, I found one typo or error while reading it, which otherwise seemed edited well. I have no complaints other than that.
Despite the drawback, the personal connection I felt while reading it earned it a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars. This book is suggested to all poetry enthusiasts who enjoy reading poems on love, passion, heartbreak, and loneliness.
