Read Book Review

You, Me … And Us – Thirty – 7 Moments of Love, Passion, Betrayal and Scorn is of exotic poetry, love poetry, and is an intriguing collection of literary delights, written by Moctezuma Braussi. The cover of the book is racy and provocative; featuring an image of a shirtless male with angel wings who stands over a dark-haired lady holding a sword. The collection of poems seems to carry these same connotations.

Steamy and exotic at times, the poetry is sultry and passionate. The author’s use of eccentricity is prevalent as the story resolves. The poetry is romantic throughout and the expressive use of imagery brings this to a poetic masterpiece and is very seductive. This collection of poetry is not for the faint at heart nor may not be for those who are more conservative. Yet for open-minded adults wishing to read creatively inspired words based around arousal and satisfaction; wishing to explore the depths of their own limitless thoughts, poet Moctezuma Braussi becomes the catalyst for opening their minds’ door into new areas.

From a shirtless male model to women in lingerie, the imagery is definitely geared towards adults who crave eroticism. Erotic would perhaps be an understatement to the conservative crowd. With lines such as ‘whisper of kisses on a warm bed,’ the story focuses on romantic and erotic behavior. It is a story for love and the almost symmetrical flow of eroticism which links each poem together is worth noting. With lines such as ‘ejaculated secrets,’ the author knows that eroticism is his forte and niche. Tastefully done, with artistic wordsmithing, the experience of paging these poems creates its own environment engulfing the reader into private reflections of personal interludes which may trigger past memories or create future fantasies.

This book is a great read for those who want to dig deeper into love and romanticism. You, Me … And Us – Thirty – 7 Moments of Love, Passion, Betrayal and Scorn is ideal for readers seeking a window into many emotions as well as for couples to share, as it is a passionate, literary masterpiece.
