"C.L. Brown is changing the world one brilliant and authentic poetic word at a time." - Kimberly Elise, American Actress
"Rupi Kaur and Gabbie Hanna lovers will bow to this trilogy of poetry by C.L. Brown" - Chelsea Girard, Book Reviewer
Nectar is a thoughtful and transcendent journey through spiritual growth, self-discovery, and the healing ways of love. Divided into three chapters, Guide of Life, Chrysalis, and Ambrosia, this collection of poems celebrates Spirit in its many forms.
Perhaps God is,
as I AM,
a tormented soul
finding solace within itself.
It is a celebration of uncontaminated affection.
Permit me stay between your lips,
and I'll prove to you
the soul has no need
for the waste of trees.
The reader will be taken on an unguided tour along three paths that so many of us find ourselves on at one time, or another; three seemingly separate journies, all leading to one place, love.
I must have lived a few lifetimes before this.
Because this love I carry for you,
it induces a sense of nostalgia for a time and a place
I've only seen bits and pieces of
immersed in your soft, unyielding, eyes.
And from listening to the way it speaks of you
with such clarity and wisdom,
I know it is very well acquainted with age.
So, hello, my everlasting!
I am dying to live you, again.
About the author
C. L. Brown is a Writer & Poet who draws inspiration from nature, spirituality, and the purest of sentiments, love. Born in Mandeville, Jamaica in 1978, he was raised with strong spiritual values under the guardianship of his grandmother, and later his parents as he migrated to the United States to live with them at 12 years of age. This he clearly conveys in his art through copious spiritual references, whether writing about romance, or diving within his own soul, seemingly in search of God.
C. L Brown's passion for writing commenced in mid 2007 when he, unintentionally, started writing poems on Social Media websites. His followers were immediately drawn to his work, and over the next 6 years, pleaded with him to publish his art.
In 2015, he published his debut book, a collection of poems, entitled "Loud Whispers of Silent Souls." With this publication, he embarked upon a journey that would garner attention around the world, inspiring as many as would listen to, and/or read his poetry. In December 2016, he published his second collection of poems in the book entitled "Bare." As the title suggests, he laid his soul bare in this beautiful work of art. C. L. Brown's poetry is an amalgam of sensuality, spirituality, and romanticism that has earned him the title, "The Romance Poet" among his readers.
In his own words, his life's mission is to "leave this world better than I found it," and he's doing so, one word, one poem, at a time.
