The Things Your Man Won't Say and Do (but should) ebook

The Things Your Man Won’t Say and Do (but should) is a raw, soulful, and emotionally evocative poetry collection that peels back the unspoken truths of modern relationships. Written from a deeply personal and authentic perspective, Derek A. Brown Sr. delivers a passionate blend of real-life reflections and romantic fantasy that speaks directly to the hearts of both men and women—especially those longing for intimacy, understanding, and commitment in a world that often reduces love to lust.

This book is divided into four poignant sections—Approach, Feeling Her, For Adults Only, and Nuptials—each representing a unique phase in the journey of love and connection. From the initial spark of desire to the sacred vows of marriage, Brown’s poetry highlights the words, actions, and emotional presence that many women wish their partners would express.

With over 50 heartfelt poems, including titles like “Can I Be Your Man”, “Comprehending Love”, “What Cums Next”, “The Massage”, “Rose Petals”, and “Wishes Do Come True”, this book is both sensual and spiritual. It celebrates romance, challenges toxic masculinity, and reclaims vulnerability as a strength in Black love and relationships.

Brown invites the reader into his inner world with an honest introduction that sets the tone for growth, healing, and reconnection—not just with a partner, but with oneself. His message is clear: falling in love is easy, but staying in love requires consistent action, intentional words, and sincere effort.

Whether you’re a woman seeking to understand what a good man should say and do—or a man looking to level up emotionally and romantically—The Things Your Man Won’t Say and Do (but should) is a must-read.
