    About this ebook

    Theodore Prime composed Burning Desire while a senior at Notre Dame High School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. A writer of poetry since he was 12 years old, Theo often reflected upon the things a man in love thinks about but never says to the object of his affections. This collection of poems is his first attempt to capture the essence of these feelingsthe yearning, the longing, the hurt, the anguish, and even the despair that torments a man who plays the game of love . . . and often loses. And while men certainly will identify with the feelings found here, it is the women among his readers whom Theo really is addressing. For it is they who finally will secure a window into a mans heart and see, perhaps for the first time, how vulnerable men really are.

    Theodore V. Prime

    To many, Theodore V. (Theo) Prime, is the quintessential high school student. Of Haitian descent, he is a gifted scholar and a member of the varsity basketball team. While not quite the person one thinks of as a hopeless romantic, Theo has been writing love poems since grade school, and as the years progressed, so did his capabilities. The poems in this book, many of which are cast as sonnets, attest to Theos growth as a poet. While he anticipates studying business in college, Theo clearly is a young man from whom we will see more poetry in the future.
