Love is often described as fleeting, a spark that burns brightly before fading into memory. But in Dreams, Poems and Other Things by Edward E. Barturen, love takes on a different form. It is not bound by youth, nor confined by time. It breathes through loss, memory, and devotion, alive in every heartbeat, even when hearts no longer meet.
Edward’s poetry doesn’t simply tell love stories. It honors love as an eternal force. One that shapes the soul, heals the human spirit, and lingers long after goodbyes are spoken. Through poems like For Your Sweet Love, You Were Born to Break My Heart, and Say Goodnight, he writes an emotional symphony of what it means to truly feel, deeply, selflessly, and forever.
Love That Endures Through Time
In For Your Sweet Love, the author shows the timeless devotion that outlives the passage of years.
He writes,
“Every moment of my life,
I spend time dreaming of your touch.”
The line is simple, yet it radiates the kind of affection that remains steadfast. A love that doesn’t fade but turns into something spiritual, something eternal.
Edward’s portrayal of love reminds us that to love deeply is to exist beyond the boundaries of time. His poems are filled with quiet reverence, not for the perfection of love, but for its endurance. Love, in his words, is a force that survives loss, distance, and even death itself. It’s a reminder that the truest loves are not those that end, but those that evolve.
His verses invite readers to remember their own loves. The ones that changed them, shaped them, and still echo softly within. For Barturen, love is not just an emotion. It’s a memory that never leaves.
Heartbreak as a Form of Grace
In You Were Born to Break My Heart, the author turns pain into poetry. His words reflect heartbreak not as destruction, but as transition. A necessary part of being human.
He writes,
“You were born to break my heart in two,
All I wanted was you from the start.”
There is no bitterness in his tone, only understanding. Love, even when it hurts, is a gift. Every heartbreak carries meaning; every goodbye teaches us something sacred about our capacity to care.
Through his poems, Barturen doesn’t run from heartbreak. He embraces it. He allows readers to find beauty in their own vulnerability, to see love’s ending not as failure but as proof that they have lived and felt fully. In a world quick to dismiss sorrow, his poetry reminds us that grief itself can be an act of love.
Love That Goes Beyond Life
One of the most touching pieces in the collection, Say Goodnight, turns love into a prayer. Written with tenderness and humility, it reads like a final conversation between souls that will meet again.
He writes,
“When we meet again, it will be forever.
Once I take your hand, I will know that I am in Heaven.”
Here, Edward talks about something rare. The intersection of love and faith. His poetry speaks to the belief that love never truly dies. It merely changes form. Whether through memory, legacy, or spirit, love remains, soft as a whisper, strong as eternity.
It’s this kind of love that defines Dreams, Poems and Other Things, love that is not merely romantic, but human, divine, and universal.
Celebration of the Human Heart
Edward Barturen’s poetry surpasses the limits of language. His verses are tender meditations on what it means to love and be loved, to lose, to forgive, and to remember. Each poem feels like a letter from the soul, written with sincerity and wisdom earned through time.
Through his art, he reminds readers that love is both the beginning and the destination of every journey. It may change shape, but it never truly fades. It continues to guide us, through grief, through joy, through the endless unfolding of life itself.
Let your heart remember what it means to love beyond time.
Experience the warmth, the ache, and the beauty of forever in Dreams, Poems and Other Things by Edward E. Barturen. A poetic form of love that never dies.
