Rhythms is the first book of poetry published by Tugson Press and by the author/owner Leo Shelton. He writes about the realistic rhythms of life, lust, love and loss. He boldly carries the reader on a journey of emotions, through reflections, insights, and a dance, that is both uniquely his but shared by the reader - any reader.
The ramblings of the joys of life, the lust of loins, the beat of loves' heart, and the somber tears of sorrow and loss, create soulful rhythms that can be heard and felt deeply. Realistic musings of both challenges and glories…of life!
It dances, sings, shouts, cries, and soothes…it literally moves, as the rhythms of life move.
Soul-full - Poetry - Leo Shelton
ISBN: 0-9791786-1-4 ($12.00)
ISBN-13: 978-0-9791786-1-0
Another insightful, penetrating look into the mind, emotions, love and life of a very deep and personable writer.
"Sometimes love comes with as much as a mutter, where hap or circumstance doesn't matter - Sometimes in the middle of the night, through virtual beams, in words and things, and sometimes it stays for just a while, Makes you think, dream, smile, and sometimes a part of a bigger plan, it changes woman, child and man. And sometimes…just sometimes…it creates a whole different you, or helps you find one you already knew."
