Carolyn Mary Kleefeld & David Wayne Dunn

Kissing Darkness follows in the tradition of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning. In lyrical verse, which David Dunn and Carolyn Kleefeld wrote for each other over a five-year period, the poems of Kissing Darkness speak of the romantic ideal attainable as a relationship evolves and is experienced as touching the eternal within finite time.

Illustrated with Carolyn Kleefeld's beautiful series of paintings titled "Immortal Lovers" and David Dunn's mythic paintings.

A unique gift of poetry for lovers on Valentine's Day, engagements, weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays.

Praise for Kissing Darkness and the work of Carolyn Mary Kleefeld "Revealing the divine Eros, the untamable power of love. Kissing Darkness is a perfect gift for all romantics."
Laura Huxley, author of You Are Not the Target and Timeless Moment

"The poems of Kissing Darkness lead us to the heart of love. Mysteries unfold and open us to unexplored territories beyond the narrow channels of daily life. Through the windos of words, we glimpse that love can be."
Evelyne Blau, author of Krishnamurti: 100 Years

"In tune with the rhythm of the Tao, Carolyn and David' poetry reflects the greatest human re-discovery since the Fire and the Wheel - harnessing the power of love. . . I rejoice with and applaud this treasure of a book."
Chunglian Al Huang, author of Embrance Tiger, Return to Mountain

"Her writing moved me in all ways at once. She performs a rare literary alchemy, fusing science and sensuality, genetics and generosity, global biology and personal biography, high humor and profound insight."
Dr. Timothy Leary

Excerpts from Kissing Darkness:

Within your voice,
a stillness lingers
Within your sound,
rests the sleeping bird

I lie back, letting your roots
reach into mine,
feeling your wings envelop me
in a fluttering tenderness

~ Carolyn Mary Kleefeld

Dream me
like a prayer held for a moment in your hands

Or think of me
as a tree whose roots drink from your river-soul

~ David Wayne Dunn
