Forbidden Waters

By: Blakes, William Antoiwn, Jr.

In a world where the word "love" is often oversimplified and overused, Forbidden Waters delves deep into the complexities and contradictions of this powerful emotion. Inspired by the rich vocabulary of ancient Greek, where different types of love are uniquely named and understood, this collection of poems navigates the turbulent waters of human connection.

From the intoxicating allure of romantic & lustful love (Eros), to the playful dance of flirtation (Ludus), to the comforting bonds of friendship (Philia and Storge), and the introspective journey of self-love (Philautia), Forbidden Waters offers a raw and honest exploration of love in its many forms.

This book challenges the limitations of the English language in expressing the full spectrum of love's emotions and experiences. It unapologetically presents the darker sides of desire and the forbidden, capturing the struggles, temptations, and triumphs that define our relationships.

Whether you've been swept away by the passion of first love, tempted by the thrill of the forbidden, or sought the solace of a true friend, these poems will speak to your heart. Dive into Forbidden Waters and discover the stories, emotions, and truths that lie beneath the surface of love.
