This book has poems on love and heartbreaks. Few best ones are –
- They say don’t fall in love with writes
Because their poems
Are messy
And their letters
Are empty words
Dressed up to look pretty.
But I say
Fall in love with me
Because underneath the mess
And in between the lines
Is a heart too full of love
That would follow you to any city.
- Darling,
kiss me like you need
to feel safe
because my lips want to know
all the places
you have been hurt
so they can make all the pain
drift away.
The author has written poems on encouragement. Her poems speak of how to feed your soul with encouragement and love. Through poems, the poetess has tried to tell your worth and how much love you are. Few best poems on encouragement are –
- I know you feel like your best
Wasn’t enough
I know you feel like all the hours
Were wasted
I know you feel disappointed
In yourself
But even though you feel
These things
Probably all at once right now
I just want you to know
That you’re more than what
You believe
I look at you
And I know that you’re
Smart
And beautiful
And capable
I believe in you
And I’ll tell you everyday
Until you believe it too.
- You are a collection of miracles, bound together by sunlight. But you are also much more that; you are a story, a home, a wolf that howls in the night.
This book is a blend of poems of love, encouragement, heart-breaks, loneliness and sadness. In the end, the poetess has even written poems for her loved one which are engaging.
