Love Moons

By Vinma

You are the northern wind
Sweeping, gusting,
Teasing the burning sky.
You are the hottest blue,
The force that blows me away.
Your love,
It rises out of the sea
And descends to the depths of my being …

Although timeless and eternal, love goes through stages, like moon phases.

In a debut volume of verse, Vinma invites you on a lunar journey to not only rediscover previously known thoughts about love, but also to learn and embrace new insights. Within a variety of poems sprinkled with passion, promises, commitments, compromises, betrayal, and sacrifices, Vinma leads us to the realization of self that truly endures and powers through its eclipses in life’s darker moments to find radiance in each moon cycle and ultimately come full circle.

Love Moons is a poetic saga of love and endurance of self that truly shines bright in the twilight of life.

The one who got away …

Run my dear, from anything

That may not strengthen

Your precious budding wings.

Run like hell my dear,

From anyone likely

To put a sharp knife

Into the sacred, tender vision

Of your beautiful heart.

About Love Moons

Poetry is timeless. So is love. What better way to express love than through poetic thoughts? Although timeless and eternal, love does go through stages, like moon phases. This book, Love Moons, takes you on a lunar journey to discover everything you have known and are yet to learn about love. It is sprinkled with passion, promises, commitments, compromises, betrayal, sacrifices, and finally a realization of self that truly endures through it all—a self that powers through its eclipses in life’s darker moments to find its radiance in each moon cycle so that it may come full circle.

Let’s be like birds, she said.

"Let’s race to the sky,

Spread our wings,

Drink in the wind,

And fly away in great abandon.

Let’s swim in the ocean as deep as our love.

Let’s ride its waves, float with the tides.

Sail away to the evening horizon

Under the beautiful red skies.

Let’s rendezvous with the moon

And gather the stardust from all the galaxies known.

Let’s watch the skies lit up with wishing stars

And get some sleep in the land of midnight sun.

Come with?" An
