Time stops,Disappears gradually. There is gravitational attraction between us. Meanwhile,There is emptiness between us. Don t talk about love. Better lie. The soul experiences many raw emotions when it is lost between the first stage of love the feeling of butterflies in the stomach and the forever lasting stage of love when the butterflies land and find their home. In a collection of beautiful poems, Alice Ross lyrically explores all aspects of love, including why two souls are drawn together, how love can be a terrifying source of power, why sometimes people do not want a perfect lover, the spark between lovers that only ghosts can see, and the heartache that accompanies the loss of a relationship. Butterfly s Home is a volume of free verse that reflects on all things love while reminding us that we are never alone in a world full of promise, light, and hope.
