In this new collection from well-established authors Cendrine Marrouat and David Ellis, enjoy a series of love poems delicately crafted to stimulate emotional and endearing aspects of our deep connections with each other.
Cendrine and David have selected poems for this volume that perfectly capture feelings and nuances relating to romantic notions. They explore how love can fundamentally shape and change you, how it can feed your innermost muses/desires and ultimately how it can define you as a person, if you fully embrace it with every fibre of your being.
Love need not be scary or complicated. This collection shows us that even the simplest of intimate gestures can mean more to us when speaking from the heart and soul.
Enjoy an Excerpt
Loving You
Loving you is easy.
Your heart beats like
The midnight breeze,
Caressing the strings of my essence.
Loving you is easy.
Your smile tenderly
Invites reveries,
Exposing the chords of my mind.
Loving you is easy.
Your voice is like
Music to my inner ear,
And honey to my soul.
Loving you means completeness.
You answer the questions
Of my inner interactions.
You bless the seasons
Of my secret divinity.
God sent you to enlighten
The epiphany of my pen,
So that I can describe beauty
In words and thoughts,
And open the door to invisible realities.
Loving you makes me aware
Of my purpose in life.
Loving you brings me peace.
Loving you…
Loving you…
Is easy.
