PATILLAS, Puerto Rico, Feb
05, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The new collection of
poetry from the late Lorenzo Santiago Padilla, "Flor
de mi esperanza: historia de un amor en versos" ("Flower
of my hope: a story of love in verse") (published by
AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com), is a life-affirming,
yet heartbreaking, recollection of a husband's love for
his wife and the agony caused by her passing.
Written entirely in Spanish, this posthumous publication
of Lorenzo's romantic, lyrical poems speaks to a sublime
love that gives way to feelings of solitude after the death
of his wife, Flor.
Combining a simple style with a melodious, slow rhythm,
these poems revisit the memories of two people in love,
from their first date onward. As Lorenzo brings himself
to reflect on Flor's death, he comes to a powerful conclusion:
Love should be cherished purely and truly while it lasts
because separation is unavoidable.
Consider this passage from "Sigo sonando y amando"
("I continue dreaming and loving"):
