This is an anthology of 106 poems on the mixed blessings of life, eros and agape love.
Introduction
I was four when I recited my first poem
Ten when I wrote my first
I am not a competent worker yet
Yet been before the extraordinary
I was fourteen as I wrote a poem in this book
Majority written in my twenties
Nothing rotates the world as love
No wonder it is the central theme here
Agape is the love associated with the Creator
His sacrifices for humanity, living and unborn
Eros is the attraction between you and me
Brooding desire for the physical and the heart
When Agape meets Eros in our mixed world
The outcome is
IRRESISTIBLE!

When Agape meets Eros in our mixed world the outcome is IRRESISTIBLE!
‘Irresistible’ by Larry Liza has three books in one that encompasses all areas of life thus making it a very wholesome read. The whole book marks the journey Larry has made for all the 20 years and more he has written these poems. He was actually four years old when he jotted down his first poem. It’s like a journal of trial and tribulations, sorrow and happiness…
The first book ‘Agape Love’ opened up with ‘Abort Me Not’ and I knew it’s no jokes here. The book deals with this relationship we have with God/Source/higher self…our actions and how it affects the dynamics of the relationship. It documents fully how from time to time we flit in and our of that relationship, how sometimes we feel far away from source yet so near, how
The second book ‘Eros’ gets very amorous and otherworldly. Obviously my favorite part of the book 🙈🙈🙈 This is the point that more poems than not were very relatable and easily digestible without taking the power away. From unrequited love, to lost love, those bodily cravings, to question the worth of a certain relationship…Larry voices our thoughts out well. Truly love related things are universal. ‘Will You Still Be Mine’ remains my most favorite piece in this book.
The last book ‘Mixed Blessings’ goes farther out into the world as it touches on climate change, breast cancer, war, genocide, death, hunger and even Mandela has been immortalized here. The last poem on Rwanda left me palpitating 🥺
From some poems here I know understand why some people shy away from poetry. Coughs! They were like Greek. But overall I did understand and feel most.
Liza is definitely not afraid to go in deep and gave this book his all. This book was truly a labour of love from him to us.
