Книга: Magnetic Repulsion: 100 Poems From Desire to Disgust

Magnetic Repulsion, 100 Poems From Desire to Disgust, is a collection of poetry that keeps pulling you back to read more. It begins where most relationships do, right from your first heart twisting clean thought of promised romance, and pulls you along to the final charred burning of your partner's belongings. Marshmallows, optional, although highly recommended to keep you afloat in a sea of metaphors. Patricia A. Hawkenson shares the experiences of powerful attractions that keep dragging couples together and then yanking them apart. From that first dance, where toes tangle languidly, and shoulders create a soft place to fall, through dating and suspicion, arguments and slamming the door, this collection covers it all while uncovering just enough to please and tease. If the reader likes bare legs and kisses before the insults are thrown to the dogs, then they have been suckered again in to that sappy-love-happy vortex where we all want to live. But the delicate balance between love and companionship eventually tips the scale to hate and repulsion. This is all accomplished with a gentle humor that keeps slipping through, tying it together without a pretty bow or even the price of a box of chocolates. You've got to love a cheap date. If we are being completely honest, you'll start reading with a sigh at the memory of someone softly touching your thigh, until you look up to notice that white line on their finger, the mark of a lover who has changed their mind. At which point you might be inclined to throw them as far as you possibly can. Resist the temptation until the force of the magnetic attraction that you and your partner once had, pulls you back together again.
