Worlds of You: Poetry & Prose by Beau Taplin

5.0

Review to come.In this collection, Beau Taplin primarily focuses on the wide variety of emotions when it comes to love; from falling in love, to falling out of love, to being broken hearted. To keep balance within his poetry, Taplin divides the collection into two sections: Heart & Spirit. The 'Spirit' section emphasizes life in general and focusing on yourself.

Rather than reading this as a collection of poetry, I found myself reading this as if I were receiving advice from an older sibling. As someone who's never really had a relationship, I found that most of these poems gave me the advice I never got.

For example:
The Leap and The Fall
"I trusted him. I gave him everything.
And still, he left."

"But that's the risk you take.
It's not his fault, child.
That's life.
That's love.

"They call it falling in love
Because sometimes you're caught,
And sometimes you're not."
-Beau Taplin
