The Phantom Lover: A Poetic Journey Into The Realms Of Obsessive Love

The Phantom Lover is one woman's poetic journey into the realms of obsessive love. As a result of her tragic childhood, this woman's life-changing experiences send her on a lifelong quest for acceptance and confirmed lovability, while spiraling through the disillusionment that only love from a man would make her whole. As a child with a shattered view of her own self-image, she struggles with the concept of what she was taught a female represented to society. She finds herself entangled with degrading relationships, submissive patterns, depression and romanticizing the concept of death, as well as fantasies of a make-believe knight in shining armor to find her redemption. Through self-discovery and deep spiritual reflection, she goes from one extreme of the human emotion to the next, traversing through the deepest depths of physical passions and emotional insecurities until she reaches a destination of truths. Expressing herself through poetic form, she finds ultimate deliverance from her tragic past, while facing the realities of her present. The Phantom Lover is one woman's quest for human love, yet in the end, it's not the love of a man that sets her free, but the divine deliverance and grace of God.
