Small collection of love poem samples to go with my romance novels.

Rough Edges

You and I are all rough edges
wearing away at one another,
trying to make each other fit--
planes and angles into curves.

Will we ever wear each other down
as eventually even water wears down rock--
rough edges stripped away
to make the singing one smooth melody?


Riding the Thunder

Riding the thunder,
that's what it's like.
There are no other words to tell you
how I feel when you touch me.

I ride the wave of thunder
and wait frightened,
for the storm to carry me along,
helpless in its path.

I've felt love before, and desire.
But never quite like this.
I thought love should be gentle,
not storm winds and hurricanes.

Should we let it carry us along;
Safe within the thunder's song?
Touch me and we'll try,
to ride the thunder, you and I.
