Summary

A beautiful collection of easily-relatable and heart-warming poems exploring the true meaning of love and life, and the relationship between the two. Get ready for a remarkable voyage.

Have you ever wondered what life would be like without love? Life is a priceless gift deliberately crafted and packaged for our enjoyment, but it is not a bed of roses. It is a mixture of the good, bad and ugly-including pains and gains, sadness and joy, despair and hope, failures and successes- and it ends in death. Death reminds us we must make the most of this gift before it expires. How can we do this? Love and life are inseparable, dependent and complementary; love powers life while life makes love visible. This beautiful relationship is broken when both are misused or abused, usually due to a flawed understanding of what each truly is. What is love and what is life?

Love And Life: Poems About You And Me is a beautiful collection of easily-relatable and heart-warming poems arranged into two thematic parts exploring love and life. The poems speak personally to you and take you on a voyage that could leave you questioning some of the things you thought you knew about love and life. In the end you would realise: "After all have been said and done, after life has been lived and spent and, when we finally bid the world goodbye, only one thing will matter...the love we shared." Ziri Dafranchi who has written some award-winning poetry, reveals why he is admired in local poetry communities as he deploys literary techniques in combination with his unique style in this well curated collection which is suitable for all listeners.

A reflective and creative written piece

Love and life by Ziri Dafranchi I have found to be a very reflective piece of writing identifying with the true meaning of love from a relational perspective and also a spiritual perspective. Just by listening to a few poems and the creative use of wording it has reshaped my understanding of genuine love towards my spouse in marriage and towards those around me. I would strongly recommend to anyone interested in creative writing.

Lovely poems

I very much enjoyed this collection of reflective, meditative poetry. Divided into two parts, love and then life, it was easy to listen to and very well narrated. I liked the author's style and felt these poems were very thought provoking and well written.
With grateful thanks to the author for my copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Love and Life

Awesome. It was a great read. Reflective, meditative poetry, and also heartwarming and insightful, I’d say. The themes are relatable, which is probably why I loved it. I enjoyed the author’s unique style. The poems are short but thought-provoking, especially those on the theme of life. There are some poems that stood out to me with their profound messages and relatable content. This collection has definitely become one of my favorites. It was worth my time and is a great addition to my collection of books. 🌟

A true eye-opener!

The poems have broadened my understanding of what love is and also the importance of ensuring to truly live, by making the most of every moment and circumstance, and not to just exist through life. I will definitely look out for more books by the author.

Relive falling in love

Love and Life creates an aura of romance and a life worth living so strong that it leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling lasting for days. Ziri presents love to her readers in the most simple, and also most unconventional ways. These poems can be cheesy, oftentimes making your face feel hot. They’re also very elaborate and stylistically complex, outside of the box.

I listened and learned the power of poetry. I listened whilst working but all l I could focus on were Ziris hypnotic words.

Love and Life is split into different parts. Each part is introduced by an extremely beautiful, hopeful poem that sets a precedent for the entire book After each poem. I had to pause for a second to recollect myself and reflect before moving on. It felt as if Ziri reached into my soul that very moment.

She captures the feeling of being in love so perfectly.

Each poem has a personality of its own. Every poem is a new person with a new perspective, a different way of thinking about love and life. There are so many quirks and unique features to people just as there are to poems; Ziri personifies this so well.

In love with ‘Love Untrue’ poem

I loved this book right from the beginning. From poem 20 onwards the book is packed with stoic, wise and thought provoking concepts. The reflection and contemplation and introspection came as a surprise with this book. Each verse serves an opportunity for intense contemplation. Poem 24, was one of my favourite poems with the analysis of the heart, comparing and contrasting to red and life. The symbolisms and intellectual artistic flare invites one to explore the complexities of love and human experience. 'Love and Life’ is a remarkable book I encourage all to read.
