Today, I'm doing something different. Yesterday I got the most beautiful poetry book from my hubby as part of his Valentine Gifts to me. It arrived in a gift box from Fortnum and Mason and I was utterly delighted when I opened. Let's just say my hubby is a very happy man this morning.

A Collection of Contemporary Love Poetry, Edited by Greta Bellamacina and Illustrated by Isabella Cotier. So I'm going to share one of the poems from the book. I hope you enjoy it.

Now in Late Summer She Comes to Me

By Anno Birkin

Now in late summer she comes to me,

and I can't tell horror from heaven.

Again! again! Once more there is promise

of light to my shadows.

The meadows are red.

Her tongue is infected with sex.

Fabulous poem, don't you think?

Love is incomplete without heartbreak @AduraOjo #Authorspeak #chat

Happy Monday, people! I have the lovely +Adura Ojo  with me today and we're chatting about Love and Heartbreak. Come, join us and have a cuppa.

Over to you, Adura...

Thanks Kiru for hosting me on your blog today. I’m deeply honoured especially as you’ve already given me the benefit of a stunning professional offering in the shape of that beautifully robed woman gracing my book cover. Just to give readers a brief intro into how this post came about. We’d agreed that I’d do a guest post. I set out to write a guest post about love and heartbreak and this imaginary chat with Kiru cropped up in my head. So I ditched the guest post and typed up Kiru’s ‘chat’ with me instead!
