“Poems of Love” by Jennifer Gurney


just when I think
my heart is full–
there you go again

***

the right one
for eternity
will always be you

***

silent as the night
gently sauntering in
through the cracks in my heart

***

of all the words
in the entire universe–
love is my favorite

***

a door closes
on a chapter of my life
eclipse of the heart

***

tree churches
reach toward heaven…
love descends

***

box of letters
holding your words of love–
on my evacuation list

***

the stillness of words
frozen in their tracks–
love unspoken

***

this wonder-filled life
rocks, trees, sky, sun, moon
I am in love

***

love
a path on which to place my feet
amidst the winding way
