Overview

Sometimes life is filled with love, passion, happiness, and bliss. Other times disappointment reigns, and the disillusionment and sadness are overwhelming. The challenge is to find a balance and to remain hopeful. The verse in this new collection by poet Rózália Sófalvi covers it all-every aspect of love and disappointment. The content is very personal and heartfelt, yet it inspires thoughts of our own experiences. The poems document the clashing notes of Rózália's fantasies and realities, and we are reminded that the journey to love is most often a breathless course through alibis and lies. Perfection, even when we catch a glimpse, is not a permanent thing. Alibis and Lies is everyone's story. We are not alone in our search for love. There is always hope. And the search is worth the journey. Mesmerized. Your eyes draw me deeper and deeper into an unreal world. Farther and farther from the world I know. Your fingers draw me toward a kiss I know could kill.
