About the Book Dear Love... is a pulsating heartthrob. Matthew Brna takes you on a tunnel of love ride with charming passionate poetry written with exceptional and eloquent expressions. The author unguardedly bares his soul to the world with these polished delicate poems. The poems switch from soft and tender to gripping vines of coiling passion. As beautiful as an awe inspiring sunset, Dear Love... is blissfully tinted showing the dashing writing ability of the author. This is a perfect gift book for those in love or for those who love. Wonderfully done. Sherry Russell GMS - Books on Line The lyrical phases that make up Matthew Paul Brna's Dear Love... capture the true essence of what it feels like to be in love. The author's words beautifully shower the reader with a warm tranquil feeling as they experience each thought provoking poem. This vast collection is the substance needed to put into words what a person feels when they are lucky enough to have love enter their lives. I was impressed with the depth the author went into as he slowly entwined his words into my heart. This book was an unforgettable journey-a visit into the deep realms of the unknown. I would highly recommend committing this authors name to memory, for I am sure it will be one you will hear more about in the future. Very highly recommended. Suzie Housley Book Reviewer - Myshelf.Com - Bridges Magazine - Romantic Times Book Columnist - Beneath the Covers Coordinator - Have you Heard "Dear Love... ," a book of poems written by Matthew Paul Brna, opens with a poem entitled "Waking Love." The words are very passionate, as Matthew writes of one's lover being beautiful beyond anything in the universe. I soon learn that how the author sees love, is beyond most poets that I've had the opportunity to read in the past. Many of the titles are written in Russian, which is a language that I haven't learned, but have been translated by the author. Each poem, and there are almost a hundred, flows with echoes of enticing love. I found "Fire's Dream" as unique as its title. It reveals a consuming love that is frightening, yet fulfilling. The poem "God-Dess," is reminiscent of Shakespeare's line, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." "God-Dess," has to be read many times and pondered, for each time one gets a different meaning. "Moment," travels on winged thoughts for three sensuous, fiery pages. It then ends with - "This! is how much I love you." The author questions his life in "With You," but finds that none of it is important as long as he is with the one he loves. The days of the week will never quite be the same after reading "Each Week." This unique calendar of love, takes us from Sunday to Someday, in lines that evoke lust. "Already Kissed," starts as poetry and gushily ends like a slurpee, in a delightful rendition of kissing put to paper. It would be difficult to choose a favorite poem, as each one was thoroughly engrossing, and completely enjoyable to read. My mystical side found the "Dream Catcher," simple, yet beautiful. The lady is described as a dream catcher, that love itself dreams of. Matthew saved the best for last. It's a poetic marriage proposal entitled, "Nothing To Say." The words are carefully placed upon the pages as if they were fine paintings. Matthew's use of words is so eloquent that one should curl up in a comfortable chair, with a glass of wine and soft lighting, to read his poetry. This collection deserves the reader's full attention.

Excerpts

HEART WHISPERS

Kiss me, flowing
As love beyond love's seep
Throughout and within the cosmos.
Heart's quantum flux,
Rhythmic wave.
Love,
More than ever-expansively satiating,
Every ray of light streaks the universe
In fulfillment's caress.
Sound itself, shudders
Witnessing such love,
In ecstatic echo
Of reverberating unspeakable joy.
Flow that inspires light of all light
To cry in happiness,
To the point of loving flow,
Light might be able to stop crying
Its sparkling tears of joy.
Thunderous trembling and quaking
With happiness
Is the universe's answer.
To finally taste said flow
With experiential gnosis.
Water's enticing dance
As river, stream, and ocean,
As rain, mist, and snow,
As tear, sweat, and blood,
Is envious of such pristinely divine flow.
Flow as each ray of light from every sun
Ever kisses the earth
Illuminating all love of life
Ever warmly.
Flow as each drop of rain
Ever caresses the sky
Penetrating a path to kiss
The parched and heated globe
In loving quench of its desire
To bathe in its wetting love.
