    About this ebook

    Some loves transcend heaven. Others burn like hell. Both leave scars that never fade.

    Through the mist of regret and yearning, our unnamed seeker chases an impossible dream - a love so pure it borders on divine. Each step through the meadow of yarrow brings them closer to understanding their own worth, even as doubt shadows their path. In parallel, a soul burdened by past mistakes searches for absolution in the spaces between heartbeats. Their journey takes them from sun-dappled forests to moonlit beaches, each location a witness to their transformation. As they navigate the delicate balance between physical desire and spiritual connection, the lines between sacred and profane blur. But when their paths cross at the edge of redemption, they must answer the ultimate question: Is love strong enough to bridge the gap between heaven and earth?

    'Variations of Love' stands as a stunning achievement in contemporary literary fiction, where poetry meets raw emotion. For readers who crave passionate narratives, spiritual depth, and exquisite prose, this collection promises an unforgettable journey through love's many dimensions.

      Variations of Love - Anthony G. Martinez

      Divine

      I find it hard to tell you

      Difficult, if it gives you a better grasp of my hesitancy

      I’m petrified you’ll figure out my weakness I hid from the curious

      You... you scare me

      Terrify

      Your beauty is unmistakable

      Your heart is gold

      But your soul is far from what I ever hold

      No, divine

      I! Can’t! Lie!

      As paradise manifests before my eyes

      You... you were somebody that was unattainable, but yet so close

      And I’m afraid

      Afraid this paradise is an illusion and you’re miles away

      That... that this is all in my head

      And you are what I always dreamt in my bed

      Gentle touch, as chills remind me

      Reality could only make me feel like this, and I put all doubt behind me

      But it doesn’t exempt me from all my fears

      You are still somebody I could never be near, but you’re here

      Telling me

      There isn’t a place you would rather be than next to me

      Past

      Moments you asked me to relive

      Moments you begged me to forgive

      Moments you didn’t want me to wallow in

      You turned your head away

      Stared at the sky, you and everybody frozen in place

      And the moment came, when grass grew faster than the tear forming at the corner of your eye

      I asked, Why are you crying?

      And the seconds you didn’t reply the more I tried

      But time no longer abides by our lives

      And you tried to hide what’s been torturing you inside, but never could I

      It will continue to stay

      And this is my mistake

      I became blind

      Forgetting why I remained by your side

      The truth was better as a lie

      And I stand by you the same way I found you

      Confused about what the world will bring

      But with me, before I made it a thing, you saw it differently

      Because you believed I wasn’t like everybody

      I left something behind today

      Watched your face stay in place

      Wiped your tears away

      I kissed you on the lips and took a knee

      So that when time finally ease

      I’ll be the first thing you see

      When our past is no longer hindering we

      I’ll say it and it will be

      The last time you’ll hear it from me

      Angel

      I want to, but I know it’s frail

      Tantalizing

      Mesmerizing

      Your soul

      Beautiful but torn

      And I crave to repair the tears and sores

      You’re hard to ignore

      The world has been harsher to you than lives before

      I want to protect you, nurture and reward

      You’re an angel

      Fallen and worn

      You’re beautiful

      Appearance and more

      I want to

      But I can’t be more

      I want to

      But I must ignore

      The angel and my hopes for more

      Caged

      If you promise, I’ll promise, I’ll hold you close

      And truly believe you aren’t just here to silence what’s killing me the most

      I’ll play along

      While you kindly rip it off

      Because I’m tired, tired of feeling this ache

      No matter how long I’ve neglected it, it finds a way

      To resurface

      To remind me of the chase

      But to be honest, I want it to go away

      And once you would reveal what cause me so much pain

      Without hesitation, my foot would kick away

      Attack until I made sure that I would never feel this pain

      To put fear into thoughts

      Second-guess the temptation to fall

      To let it know it’s wrong

      But...

      It’s my fault

      Instead of accepting your aid

      I keep trying to run away

      Instead of healing this pain

      I’m begging you to put out the flames

      You are what keeps me safe

      From hurting what is pulsating underneath my rib cage

      Smile

      I couldn’t stop smiling today

      Saw her face, couldn’t turn my focus away

      She made my day

      Unaware, as I gaze

      Appreciating every expression, she makes

      When she smiles, I quake

      She has a spell over me, there’s no mistake

      She’s everything I seek, and she’s right here in front of me

      An angel

      A queen

      The reason I smile and believe

      Perfection isn’t a farfetched dream

      Forbidden Love

      I ain’t keeping no secret

      Your love is my true weakness

      Even if angels turn their wings away, you are the only angel I appreciate

      The world’s view is evil

      But my love for you is beautiful

      If we have to find another way, to express our love to each other in a public place

      I’ll still kiss you the same way

      We wouldn’t have to accommodate to the demands of their wicked ways

      Because our love is more than what they say

      They could label us with what they may

      No matter how hard they want us to fix our ways

      Forbidden love is what they’ll say

      But our love is as beautiful as the people who condemn our ways

      Cycle

      As you yell, spewing fire at me

      Screaming, as
