I am a home to butterflies by J. Alchem My rating: 3 of 5 stars Blurb - A captain sinks with his ship then why cannot a lover? This collection of poetry is all about you and me, but I am afraid it will no longer be about 'you and me' once a reader picks it up. It will then be about them only. It will be all about the one they loved like thunder, about the one they struggled hard to keep, about the one who had left them in the middle of their 'forever', about their world shattering into pieces, about them gluing together every piece, and about them falling in love one more time. And if you still think it is about you and me, you haven't loved someone like thunder, yet.   My views - I am home to butterflies by J.Alchem is a collection of poems, quotes and letters which is unique in author's own style. I had read author's previous works “Undelivered letters” and “The Highway Man” which was absolutely wonderful because of that I had a hu...
