This poetry book is a dynamic masterpiece that radiates joy, inspiration, and infuses the world with love and grace. The poetic verses, with dynamic and uplifting tone, serve as a symbolic representation of God’s grace for humanity’s essential growth. I am enthused with this book’s morning sunlight’s theme, and find nothing to dislike about it. I enthusiastically recommend it to my friends and associates, knowing it will uplift, inspire, influence, incite, and incentivize their spirits with impressive hope.

Like the book’s title, the poem “Incomplete Kiss,” articulates a desire for God’s presence to return to humanity. The thematic petition is a plea to be drawn to God’s blossom of love and solitude away from humanity’s destitute. The following poem of passion, “Clouds In Front,” extrapolates words of endearment and embrace, such as, ‘Talking with words of love fascinated with fragrance.’ This brings to reality the language one is ultimately seeking to manifest peace and love in reality to worldwide humanity. This shows “The Kiss is Incomplete,” and there is work to be done in earnest for the state of human collapse to reverse itself and find the norm of graciousness and lovingness from the bosom of God.

The “Burning Torch” poem vividly reflects the landscape of Chicago, Illinois, a place I’ve visited for numerous poetry recitals and assemblies. It echoes the words that ring aloud: ‘I have been there, know of laborers’ blood being sacked, and exploitation resonating with the essence of May Day.’ The next entreating poem, “The Wooden Button,” is a nostalgic ode to one’s motherly missing, loving, caring voice and hugs, articulating, ‘Remembering one’s mother’s smile. The delight of light in a good morning.’ These poems mirror the human experiences and emotions we all share, making “The Incomplete Kiss” a poignant and relatable read.

Additionally, to enhance the theme of an “Incomplete Kiss,” missing in the souls of worldwide humanity, the poem “Gambling Party” extrapolates, ‘Loaded dice, forbidden drinks, bullets of thunder inflamed, martyr’s blood—what a shameful proposition!!! Creation horror shrouded—with humanity’s unrest.’ Based on the few words, one’s human mind can comprehend and visualize the state of degrading and deplorable paradigms humanity has descended into, similar to the dark abyss of Hades—unlike the dynamic and inspirational uplifting into the heavenly realms where they ought to be.

“The Incomplete Kiss” resonates with avoiding heartbreaks, shedding painful tears with joyous dips, reversing the frown to a joyful smile, circumscribing one’s heart from pain to a paradise of running waters to trees, and bringing forth fruits in due seasons.

I encourage you to continue reading the poems in this excellent text for humanity’s realization and inspirational uplifting of what is missing in society based on the literary analysis and theoretical representation of “The Incomplete Kiss.”
