About this ebook
Romance Explored is a collection of poems dealing with contemporary love and romance.
See if this little sample does it for you:
Yes I was a fool
Listening to his patter
It was too smooth
This patina of burnished steel
The man could have seduced
Anything, anyone and anytime
And he did
Me and a dozen others besides
Including the guy down at the hardware store
I should have known his wolfish ways
He had eyes that would stray
But when he turned his gaze my way
I melted and practically squirmed
In my chair at the fancy restaurant
And he knew all the wines and stuff
I was pleased; I was chuffed
I had never known a man like him
Even if I was worried about
The pale band of untanned skin
On his third finger
I was the ingénue
It can’t be denied
Hungry for what
A little town could offer
A girl from the sticks,
Everywhere he went he caused a stir
I mean, how many men out here
Wear Italian suits and know how to flirt
(extracted from ‘The Wolf in Him’)

Perhaps Romance
Perhaps romance is more
Than flowers and chocolates
More than candle-lit meals
And golden sands
More than hearts and cards
More than holding hands
More than saying those three little words
A million times a day
More than fine wine
And running your fingers
Up the stem of the glass
More than the little black dress
And your favourite scent
More than the fluttering of bluebirds
More than ribbons and lace
Perhaps romance
Is someone just being there
Day after day
Seeing the same face
And yet
Seeing something new
And seeing the best in you
