Memories On Love
Memories On Love is the first book in my poetry collection.
​
For those who have loved and lost, who have found a soulmate, who have been apart and come back together stronger than ever.
This book is a depiction of love in all its messiness, hope and despair, light and its absence, empathy and endurance. This anthology will speak to an aspect of anyone’s love story.

not champagne,
nor prosecco.

Neophyte
Neophyte: a person who is new to a subject or activity.
Please be gentle,
with our affection,
darling.
I’m a neo in this realm,
new to this domain,
one with your touch,
free of fear.
Holding Your Gaze
For as long as you want me,
I’ll do this:
make you smile,
show my affection for you.
Through nervous, confident, hazel eyes,
that change,
to blue,
to brown:
to you.
