Fueled by Love

By Cheryl Brooks

Stimulate your mind.

Caress your body.

Protect your heart.

Love your soul.

Cheryl Brooks believes that with God all things are possible and that after every dark night, there is a brighter day that awaits.

In a debut volume of free verse, Cheryl shares inspirational poems penned for both men and women that reflect on all aspects of love, heartache, and everything in between. Within her reflections, Cheryl explores the reminders from God that build a strong foundation in a marriage, the petals of a rose that represent the good qualities in a partner, the motivations that keep lovers strong for each other, and a last chance to take a leap of faith in a love journey and commit.

Fueled by Love is a compilation of free verse that touches on all aspects of relationships as two souls intertwine and listen to the messages of their hearts.
