Lovecation: A True Love in Verse - Hardcover

by Yahaya Balogun (Author)

We are in a period where love and affection are a mismatch for partnerships, families, relationships, etc. Problems of association beset us, and the fear of the known and unknown troubles the world. As a freelance writer who feels a powerful desire for friendliness and with a passion for changing the world for good, I wrote this short book of love poems to trigger people's interests and relax the troubled souls out there. We make true love a mundane subject, whereas there should be bantering and the presence of naughtiness in the consensual (relationship) state of lovers' minds. The only uniter of the troubled minds is the indescribable "feeling" that we call love. Between two lovers, love is an unending fondness that brings them together for a long-lasting relationship. Every human being is a biased political animal. We believe what we want to regard as "accurate" and close our eyes to other people's opinions. One way or the other, we have tried to be "politically correct" in our political conversations with one another. Unfortunately, no political analyst or writer has ever satisfied all political, religious, or tribal audiences anywhere in the world. For example, in the United States, while the Republicans see the Democrats as political dumbasses, Democrats see the Republicans as chronic conspiracy theorists and Assholes. Freelance writers unintentionally create political enemies when they try to be deliberately or indeliberately honest about how opposing parties play politics. Alas, writing humorously on lovemaking and all the ingredients of naughtiness, every reader is prone to travel mentally on what I call "lovecation" to satisfy their libido, i.e., sexual desire. Love brings human beings together. And women are the bridge of affections that sail men to the destination of love. The purpose of this book on love poems is to serve as a tranquilizer to soothe the unsettling souls and bring the once-upon-a-time lovebirds and now estranged partners to lovemaking and amity again. The world needs love to relax, and device means of fun-making. Hopefully, this book will trigger stressful minds to relax and enjoy this book's fun-making merriment, mischief, and genuine intention.
