WORDS OF LOVE

In honor of Valentine's Day this past Thursday, I thought I would share some original love poems with you. These come from my book, Crush and Other Love Poems for Girls, and are exclusive samples for this blog post. I hope you enjoy them.

From Chapter 1: The Crush

INFINITY

All languages of the world

Do not contain enough words

To describe how I feel

About you.

All the emptiness of space

Could not symbolize

The hole my life would have

Without you.

The tallest mountain on Earth

Could not rise to meet

The height of importance you

Amount to.

From Chapter 2: The Relationship

ESCAPE

Tear drops to the water,

Face flows far away.

Unaware where to go

Or what to do today.

But forever I will hold you,

As forever we will learn.

We will travel together

And leave our fears to burn.

From Chapter 3: The Goodbye

LOST

Memories sweet as

Candy.

Tears hot like fire.

Smiles bright as

Noon-time summer

Sun.

Beauty every moment.

Love every touch.

Loss and strength

In every teardrop.

Crying through pain

And anger;

Words cannot take

The day away.

Change attacked.

Souls soaring

Side by side.

Everything upon this world.

I lost you.

From Chapter 4: Closure

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Gone but not forgotten,

Your memory lives on.

Time erases the pain

But never breaks the bond.

Gone but not forgotten;

The days you shared with me.

Time hides the love away

And never sets it free.

Gone but not forgotten;

The promises we made.

Time dilutes the vow

And never finds it paid.

Gone but not forgotten;

Your laugh, touch and smile.

Gone but not forgotten;

Existing for awhile.

Thanks for reading!
