Book Cover & Preview Text
I do not write this book and claim to be a love guru, And I do not write this to answer all kinds of love and heartbreaks odd situations, but many men carry the fortitude of passion secretly within their hearts, and there it remains till their dying day mostly unsaid and unheard. As a normal man of the world, and all corners I have encountered the wonderful and malicious facets of the oldest wonder and oldest problem, that has not or will not change no matter how much the human brain, spirituality or evolution evolves or no matter how much we learn or educate ourselves, it is in this realm that the teacher itself is derived of love, only that experience itself will ever teach us, there are no winners or losers ,no rights and no wrongs, no better, or no worse, no greater or less tears, or any greater or less laughter, that will be encountered , love in itself is the kindest but cruellest and most efficient master, that brings even educated and great men to their knees and not to be confused with lust, a totally different dynamic that has its own sets of chaos but is cleverly organised for indulgence, and is man’s temptation, whereas love derives from choice and one’s heart, the other from testosterone. To each his own opinion, but I hope this book either maddens you or elates you then I have accomplished my mission here and that is ‘your passion’ These poems are just some of the unspoken words from one man’s experience, whether in the real world or cyber world which is part of today’s living. I do not claim to speak for all men but those who identify with the wisdom in here. For the solitary man or he who is in a relationship and feels solitary- this is for you. Some may have gone through each poem in reality, some of you have yet to go through it and that’s the fact of life. You didn’t ask for the consequences of love but it happens and maybe these words will help you not feel alone and I’m not going to say there’s sunshine after rain only ‘There is laughter after pain’-G.McBain 2015

About the Book
This book delves into some of the thoughts and feelings that men often carry silently when it comes to subjects like love and heartbreak. Many men maintain an image of being the carer or provider for the rest of the world to see, but that doesn’t mean that men are exempt from the emotions that go with it.
Yet we live in a world where men are expected to confront and deal with emotions on their own, and society has trained men to do so. Hopefully readers will identify with the descriptions in this book so that they do not feel alone. When it comes to those taboo male emotions, hopefully a problem shared is a problem halved. Just the fact of knowing there is someone else like you out there will help as readers work through the same emotions. If one reader of this book identifies with the content, then my task is accomplished. The book’s larger purpose is to help men realize they don’t need to categorize love and heartbreak into a right or wrong emotion—there is no such thing. So do not fear love; identify with it. And hopefully the experiences will eventually lead to fulfillment, but we must learn as we go. This book will be your companion to read when the going gets tough, but remember the main message: you are not alone.
