Poetry that takes the ordinary to the extraordinary, one verse at a time. Emotive. Romantic. Erotic. And everything in between. Poetry is what my soul bleeds when I’m not looking…
I never knew this author wrote poetry so when I asked about it, I got the book and promised her a review when I was done. This book by far is the best poetry book I have seen in a very long time. Reason as to why I am saying this is because, there are no cuss words. . A lot of poetry books have cussing and it kinda turns me off. This book has none and its beautifully written from the heart. Hopefully I get to read more of her poetry books if she has any more.. People who actually love poetry will love this book.

I was expecting to finish this poetry collection in one maybe two hours but like exquisite wine these words – bled from the soul – deserve to be tasted and savored. So, that’s what I did.
Hold the collection against the light and enjoy the vivid coloring. Take a sip, taste the words. Roll them around in your mind and enjoy the aftertaste of vulnerability, longing, and love.
On every single page, I found something remarkable, I bet you will, too!

I have waited impatiently for this books release and man was it worth the wait. R.B. O’Brien’s RUIN MY LIPSTICK: A Poetry Collection is a work of art. It truly touches the soul. There is a verse for all occasion in this wonderful collection. There are some short but powerful verse. LOVE POEM- “How long must a love poem be? she asked most precariously”. There are words that talk about growing up differently- NOT LIKE THE REST. R.B. O’Brien also did not forget the Haiku lovers in this collection- THE SCENT. Lastly, I want to mention I felt like the author climbed into my soul and wrote some just for me- HE’S MY PERFECT and MY OBSESSION, where she describes my love as if she knew him. Poetry is personal, poetry can be overwhelming and poetry can be a bit scary, because we often mistakenly believe it must be perfectly understood in order to enjoy. However, O’Brien shows us that poetry is for everyone, and we can just let the beautiful, powerful blend of words become music to our soul. I highly recommend RUIN MY LIPSTICK: A Poetry Collection.

In reading a book of poems, I should have been prepared for it to evoke and challenge my own emotions, this was the collection of poems that took me through the emotional roller coaster ride
Every page of this book is beautiful and makes me so excited to turn the page. Everything about the poetry in this book is amazing, heart breaking, and soul searching.
These glowing poems of love, passion and darkness truly make the floor sway in a way that anyone would crave for. The poems were both erotic and sensitive. It was almost like I was ballet dancing through each line.
I have so many favorite poems within this book they’re worth reading.
I highly recommend this book to any poetry lover or avid reader.
The writer truly knows how to invoke feelings from within soley through words, in the most beautiful way.
R.B O’Brien is a very good writer. Highly recommend this!

Highly evocative and sensually provocative!
Sometimes you can feel a little intimidated and over whelmed on a subject you’re not fully conversant in. As a voracious reader, I’d never experienced that until now. Insert that word – POETRY! Until recently, it was a form of words I’d not read in such a long time. I’m so glad to have found poetry again.
I’m sure to mess this up… let me gather those out of depth thoughts and share my impressions.
Words that hold no bounds…
words that hold intensity…
words that come alive…
words that play…
words… that one needs to fully immerse oneself in, to find the beautiful meanings and hidden thoughts expressed within their descriptive verse.
Oh WOW!! I’m in the presence of awe-inspiring words within the confines of Ruin My Lipstick. Each poem, a representation of heartfelt emotion captured in ink that fill this authors pages. The words are raw beauty, angst, and all visually captivating to one’s mind and thoughts.
I so wished this book had artwork to make those gorgeous words an even more appealing and rewarding journey. Your emotions and senses are piqued, as your thoughts flow to grasp their meaning.
Some of the poems are short, easier to quickly comprehend, while others will leave you pondering for a while to fully appreciate their worth.
R.B O’Brien already gives us sexy, erotic page-turning novels…. now she delivers you this page turning celebration of poetic verse. Take some moments, find yourself a cozy place, tuck yourself under the covers. Be captivated and astounded by her beautiful words and verse. I highly recommend RUIN MY LIPSTICK.
