Book Cover & Preview Text
Other Side Of The Track I saw him from afar, average, not striking, but there was something about him that drew me in his direction. I pulled back as I remembered, he’s from the other side of the track. As weeks went by I imagined his strong arms, his woolly hair, his inviting lips. I opened my eyes and remembered he’s from the other side of the track. I secretly wanted him to reach out to me. I wanted to yell pick me, pick me, but I couldn’t, because he’s from the other side of the track. In my dreams I saw him with me, his gentle voice, caring smile lips pressing against my lips. I felt him. I woke up heart racing body wet I cried, because my dreams will not come true for he is the man from the other side of the track. Silent in the Night I watch the bed as he laid naked. My eyes traveled the top of his head his chest his round belly. I drifted to our first dance, the footwork, the belly, the challenge of a bet. My eyes traveled the hips filled with rhythm and stopped at the sight of my excitement. I blushed and turned away. I saw a picture in my head of the softness of his touch dancing gracefully down my body as I shiver. I turned to the bed look at his crooked scared legs and wondered how did it all happened. I looked down at my legs and felt blessed. This body laying so still is the man I gave my heart.

Virgie Broussard Pradia had much to say about love; starting with the mood of love, meeting again once love was lost, and playing the love game.
This collection of verses is a chant that echoes universally, one heart capable of bearing the weight that can drown to doom’s depths yet able to lift itself to heights and live again. This is love in simple terms, understandable and without frills, brutal and unpretentious, flavored with complications and heartbreak. In one’s lifetime of love, one of these instances cited and honestly expressed by talented Virgie Broussard Pradia, is bound to touch the humanity of its subject. Both elements of playfulness and serious commitment balance each other in her poetry. In essence, love multiplies itself, in verses, to fill us all.
