Love can be beautiful. Love can be painful. Sometimes, it can be both at once.
In When Love Comes Alive, Andrew U. Ogbue explores the many faces of love-the excitement of discovering someone, the vulnerability of giving your heart, the warmth of companionship, the ache of separation, the pain of rejection, the memory of lost love, and the courage it takes to begin again.
These poems travel through desire, intimacy, friendship, commitment, heartbreak, forgiveness, longing, and the difficult moments when love is tested. They speak to those who have loved deeply, lost painfully, waited patiently, or simply wondered what it means to give another person a piece of their heart.
The collection does not present love as perfect.
Instead, it presents love as human.
It is found in the moments we treasure, the words we wish we could take back, the people we cannot forget, the wounds we struggle to heal, and the memories that refuse to disappear.
Some verses celebrate love.
Some mourn it.
Some question it.
And some simply surrender to it.
When Love Comes Alive is a collection for the hopeless romantics, the wounded hearts, the dreamers, the lovers, and anyone who has ever discovered that the heart has a language of its own.
Read slowly.
Feel deeply.
Remember someone.
Because sometimes, all it takes is a poem for love to come alive again.
