There was a period before my divorce (one and only) I was an avid reader of Pablo Neruda. And Love Sonnets appealed to me a great deal, so much so that my wife and I used one his sonnets at our wedding. So for many years she and I had a wonderful marriage and I wrote many a love poem.
This is a collection of love poems, not just of a man to a woman, but a man to the world, nature, etc.
It stands out in my works, for its focus on a certain theme, and it's light-heartedness, which sometimes is not the case.
I think many of them are quite beautiful, and in my writing them I paid homage to that which would bring two people so close together that, as Neruda puts, the sleepers can no longer distinguish their hand from the others.
