speak to me like a poem
touch me like you mean it
need me like there’s no way out
and i’m your only exit
From the book THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE
Exit
Valentine’s Day
The Truth
the truth is
i love you
and i am fully
aware of my
disadvantage
Poem from the book The Truth About Love
Our Love is Wounded
our love is a wounded soldier
painfully staggering
through lilies and thorns
through cutting rock
and perfumed meadows
every step, a loss and a gain
From the book THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE
A Love Story: A Poem
A LOVE STORY
the sky is falling between us
the ground breaks its heart beneath
and yet there is Peace within our reach
we haven’t seen the moon in days
or sat with the sun for months
and still, there is a Peace that runs deep
between us, our hearts beat a cord
remember, we are tethered beneath the skin
together, underneath the incense of prayers
we are skipping above still waters
soaring beneath red seas
our lungs full of scarlet sun
our hearts a full moon
what is this cord that binds us?
it could be Love
it must be Love
what else could it be?
From the book The Truth About Love
