A poetry collection that will evoke a multitude of emotions!

Synopsis

It’s a 1st person perspective on giving and receiving of love in all capacities for relationships of all types. Sharing has become an easy way to forge intimacy. We share pictures, accomplishments , and so much more. We only share the ups in our relationships hoping others don't see the downs. In order to share love you have to share the ups and downs, secrets, and your heart. Share my love, the excitement, disappointment and everything in between with each poem as they have a story in them. Follow the poems as I delve into the myriad of emotions and changes that we all experience and how the residue can assist or distort or views of new relationships.

Share My Love By Jamal Roberson is a collection of poetry that shows us the different kinds and stages of love - be it the highs, the lows, the first meetings, the second chances - this book has got it all. Love, after all, is a rollercoaster of sorts.


What blew me away right from the start was how the author seemed to be writing songs rather than poems and how effortlessly they were strung together to evoke such intense feelings. Some of my favourite lines include "Could never be your star / Because you lost me chasing the moon / Maybe we wanted too much too soon", which sounds like a hit pop song just waiting to happen. Another interesting thing about the book is the author's writing style. In a world populated with poems having multiple levels of meaning and philosophical words, the author has instead chosen to keep his language simple - a refreshing change - making this book more appealing to a wider audience. A sadder poem proclaims "Fantasies have come true / Blowing out the candles / While you undo your favourite decorations", making the final line truly memorable.


As is expected in any collection of poems, some poems were brilliant while some were missable - quite similar to the highs and lows the author talks about. My only suggestion to the author is to run the draft through any good Grammarly-esque app to fix the minor writing issues that I noted while reading, thus elevating the material.


All in all, I'd say that Share My Love By Jamal Roberson is a great one-time read, a book that will evoke a multitude of emotions in you and will make you realize that you are not alone, no matter your situation. If you liked the movie "Love Actually" or the web series "Modern Love", this is the perfect poetry book for you.

RUNNING

Hit the ground running

Ran straight to me

It's like you saw me

Coming

Like love letters I kept

Looking forward to when your face

Orbits my eyes

Ain't too proud to say

You're my hearts delight

Others may have settled

But I knew it would come

With a dangerous price

Waited for you without

Knowing you even existed

Tempted to settle

Jaded by love left me twisted

Only heavenly skies could send you to me

For you were my destiny
