Love and Lust: Poems from a Teenage Heart - Softcover

"Love and Lust" has 35 deep love poems that all age groups will enjoy despite the teenage focus. This book will provoke old sparks, furnish new flames, and  kindle already burning fires. Despite my age and the reputation of the first book, most poems in this book have been read before adults, children, and teenagers alike. I read the poems from this book regularly to anybody willing to listen, and not to boast but after the first reading they usually press me to read another or the same one over again. These poems touch the heart because they are from the heart. As well, "Love and Lust" is not meant to be read in order, page by page (even though it can be), it was meant to be flipped through and once a poem catches the eye, you indulge in it till you get your fill of love. Or to a greater extent, you open it up and find a new love poem to either show your significant other so they can feel the same love you feel for them. This book is not meant solely for personal profit, I read it myself, constantly, to keep my heart racing and give me a fresh optimism for love. This book might only be 50 pages but if you truly are romantic or a lover of a lover or even just a lover of poetry, this same book will last you a lifetime.

Lorenzo Jackson, a high schooler from Bolingbrook, IL, finds inspiration through personal relationship and life experiences. From a young age he loved to read poetry and by age thirteen began writing, himself. A romantic at heart, he discovered a talent in words which has lead to this love-provoking first book.
