Love, the moon and the stars - Bessie Barbara Badge

This is a collection of love poems that focuses on the intensity and sharpness of a new love. There is the initial sharp gradient of passion. This gradually morphs into a longing and ache which characterises human relationships: coming together, a silent battle of emotional will and parting. The poems epitomise the celestial feelings of love that a human being goes through, as well as the heightened awareness of the target of love which leads to love's rose-tinted view. Each poem is able to bring the intense personal connection of love and yet give subtle hints of the inherent conflict of two hearts coming together. The collection has lyrical verse that gives an endearing quality that will melt your heart.
