Just in time for Valentine’s Day, John Eaton unveils his third collection of verse, 'Love is in the air'. This is a stylish and cool gift for anyone who is in love and wants to express that love - especially on Valentine’s Day.
John’s poems capture the pleasure, poignancy and pain of love and romance. The poems cover different people, occasions, and places. They range from thoughtful and serious to very witty. There is a poem for everyone.
The Beatles once sang, "All you need is love." This timeless sentiment is at the heart of Love is in the Air, an anthology of 116 poems that explores love in all its forms and shades. As they say, love makes the world go round - and this collection captures how love permeates every aspect of our lives, from romantic infatuations to the deep bonds shared with family, friends, and even pets. Love, as portrayed in these poems, is sparked by the smallest of moments: a glance across a room, a kind word, or a simple act of caring. Sometimes, it’s inexplicable—a 'je ne sais quoi' that fills us with warmth and wonder. The poems offer a multifaceted reflection on this universal human experience.
Adding to the beauty of the collection, some poems are also accompanied by songs, creating a multi-sensory experience. By scanning the accompanying QR codes, readers can listen to or watch music videos that bring a few of these love poems to life.
So, whether you’re basking in the glow of love, reaching out to someone or searching for solace, this collection offers something for everyone. As you read through these thoughts and verses, be reminded that, no matter where you are or who you are, someone loves you.
John’s wife, Sue (Eaton) says: “This is a charming, eccentric and often irreverent collection of poems – that allows everyone to say ‘I love you’ to someone special in their lives.’
Here are just three of the shorter poems to give a flavour of the collection:
NO DOUBT
You are so beautiful
Gorgeous and dutiful
As solid as a crucible
All this is irrefutable.
TIMELESS LOVE
I know that I am in love
With someone sent from above
Someone who will mind me gently.
Someone I will stay with to eternity.
NAUGHTY BUT NICE
Could it be you are the one for me?
Opening my mind and setting it free.
Freeing me from the mess in my head.
I can’t wait to get you into bed.
Love is in the air - a collection of love poems for Valentines everywhere!
