The Sadness of Happy Times : Special Edition... featuring New Title Poem

By Lou Duro

The continuous story of a love affair, written in free verse, the sadness of happy times, with simplicity and gentleness, transverses the varied experiences of the search for love - the expectancy, the eager grasping of each tender moment, the highs when we feel sure that this is it, the heartbreak of love lost.
