I hold the black umbrella over your head. I really want my arm around you but I can't let you get wet. I give you my jacket I sense you're cold. The chill breeze tells me to keep you warm. If I had my arm around you I could squeeze you and you would feel all of my warmth.

About the Book
A collection of romantic and deeply moving poetry set amidst the background of a lesser-known Paris and the idyllic English countryside in a glorious summer. Love, confusion and longing intertwine in this out-pouring of emotion that only the heart can create and sometimes kill. The desire is obvious, yet stifled, but ever-present.
