I think this is the only time I've read a book of poetry in which I enjoyed EVERY poem. Some more than others, of course, but they're all powerful (and short!).
The subject is love, and all that comes with it - joy, heartbreak, regret, nostalgia, etc. There's a poem for everybody, and every emotion.
My two favorites, which reminded me of the relationship I have with my husband:
"He and I"
When words run dry,
he does not try,
nor do I.
We are on par.
He just is,
I just am,
and we just are.
"Always"
You were you,
and I was I;
we were two
before our time.
I was yours
before I knew,
and you have always
been mine too.
Do yourself a favor and get this book, or buy it for someone you know.
