Once youve read this book, your outlook on love will be shaped and transformed into many views of what this simple yet complex four-letter word can mean.

Maria Beaman

Identical twin sisters Maria and Monica Beaman began writing poetry at a very young age. Born and raised in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, both girls received their diploma at Strawberry Mansion High School. Both ladies then went on to attend Tuskegee University, where their writing creativity began to take off. Maria graduated class of 2011 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science but found her poetry to be her true calling. Monica also studied for a Bachelor’s in Animal Science with a minor in Business Administration, but due to unplanned circumstances, she set her writing aside, moved back to her hometown with Maria, and pursued a life of motherhood with her now two-year-old son. Using downtime as a moment of opportunity, both women began writing what is now known as Love Reflections: Poems of the Heart. Although this isn’t their first book, it is the first to be published. With a new project already in the works, the ladies look forward to expanding their writing beyond just poetry. Their most recent project, Camil, is looking to be their next big move to look forward to in the future.

Chapter 1

JOURNEY THROUGH A DARK TIME IN LOVE

See Through My Eyes

Open your eyes

To this world I call home

Open my book

But you can’t read it alone

My stories share secrets

My heart stores lies

You may journey in

But may not come out alive

Learn the way that I move

Let go to get by

To you this seems easy

To me it’s a lie

A show on Broadway

A play

Or a high

Dare to enter

But you must not cry

Maneuver my web

Get lost in my eyes

Feed off my love

While there’s still some inside

Caress my breast

Explore my thighs

Grab hold of my world

See if I’m worth the try

Head still held high

Yes I walk with pride

Oh you would too

Once you’ve been through this ride

Inside I feel robbed

Outside I cry

Deep down sometimes

I wished to die

But I
