The poems that follow describe how love has no shape, no ideal and that love is neither shallow nor ornamental in its purest form. In introduction, the Duke explains his quest for love, inclusive of his determination and his destiny. A relatable book for those who swear by the pain of love. But the strongest feeling that emerges is that of loneliness, of loneliness 'despite' what they have had is love in between. At other times, of course, it brings emotions: wonder, surprise, grief, respite.
Part of the matter-of-factness of these characters and the lives they lead, in which time is parceled out in units that they make, is expressed in this experience that at times love is just a sense of belonging or interestingly, sex. Some female, others male, their interconnectedness through the daily grind called life bring out one repeated fact closer home: the escape of one is another's prison. The characters in this poetry book Secret Of True Love: Poems from the Heart, by The Duke Of Quails, are more like participants of a slam. It is a one to one experience, unparalleled. Finding meaning, relevance, connectivity or joy in a poetry book, as opposed to a prose book, depends more on the reader than the poet. Or what didn't bring out any feeling the first time, might become a totally different experience the next time. What clicks once might or might not click the same way each time. If they are authentic, non-plagiarized poems then they are an interaction, a relation, a relatability of the reader with the poetic expression, in that moment of reading. I personally do not like rating poetry books.
