Book: Bitter Sweet Love by Michael Faudet

★★/★★★★★

My heart has become a broken compass. Everytime I try to leave you, I always find myself running back into your arms.

  I seriously don't know what to say about this book. I didn't have any expectation so I can't say I'm disappointed though I think I'm a little dismayed. There's nothing especial about this book and to be honest I was bored most of the time. The words didn't speak to me and there was no connection whatsoever. And seeing that I was also disappointed with Dirty Pretty Things, now I can say Michael Faudet's books are really not meant for me.

Proximity
We joined the dots
   from A to B,
   the line we drew
   from you to me,
   traced empty shore
   across the sea,
   over mountain top,
   over the sea,
   along the roads
   and walking tracks,
   all bridges burned,
   not looking back,
   for the love
   we have,
   no gate can stop,
   no barking dog
   or bolted lock,
   for what is real
   is meant to be,
   when two hearts
   beat—
   in proximity.

Book: Dirty Pretty Things by Michael Faudet

★★★/★★★★★

I know I'm probably the last person to read this book but I don't care. I've always been in love with words and reading poetry, quotes, short stories always fascinates me. Now I'm sharing my favorites among others of Michael Faudet's writing. 

   Echo
I am hopelessly in love with a memory. An echo
   from another time, another place.

   Fate
I never truly believed in fate until your lips met mine
   and convinced me otherwise,

   Sunday Enlightenment
I am afraid of the dark, she said.
  I am your torch, he replied.

   True Love
When you're in love, truly in love, you never have to question it.
