ABOUT LOVE NOTES Love shared, love in secret, celebrated, exploded. Unrequited longing and love that’s mellowed through the years. Love at long distance, across continents, so close there’s no space to breathe, or never quite close enough. Love lost and love found. Love from the inside out and love from the outside in. Love Notes has it all: a collection of poetry as diverse as the experience of falling in love itself. A shared candied apple, a farewell at Paddington Station, a name scribbled in a notebook, a face that leaves us breathless, a single word that changes our life forever. Love Notes is a rich tapestry of verse woven from fragments of life and those moments that make falling in love so irresistible. And so ineveitable.
Love is unique, love is universal. Love is everywhere. Excerpts Below
Chaitali Deepak Gawade BEGINNINGS There will be many beginnings, no endings, on this eternal journey that we begin. Dreams are made of golden beaches, sun-kissed skies, dreamy eyes; but mine are made of you. You gave out rainbows from your purse, made paper boats with hues of moon. Tempted— rivers turned course to look at you. I am just a mortal soul powerless to resist you. So here I am, unable to stop writing poetry for you.
David L. O’Neal SHADOWS Do shadows of former lovers flitter in the corners of your mind’s eye like floaters in your field of vision? If they are your lovers, I don’t care. I love you. If they are mine, they are phantoms, bland bleached bones dissolving evermore into dust, diminishing at every moment, little specks of disappearing memory. Don’t let these tiny shades make you uneasy … I want to die while you still love me.
Manda Frederick
YOUR CONFESSION When your confession I have to push you away now toppled so far down from you like a small nested bird, I clutched that shaking admission strong against my core, terrified to crush that rapid-beating honesty.
Sara Harman-Clarke
LITTLE LOVE To look down on your face from above, to hear your tongue speak in a language of love. You look up to a billowing sail full and fat with content, and at that moment when our eyes lock and I am lost to all, I know that our love is forevermore.
