“Ever read poetry that was so soothing, so mellow, and just so perfectly sweet, you felt it should have been a love song? “IF ONLY THERE WAS MUSIC…” is just that kind of poetry…but it’s also poetry written about forbidden love.
Back in the summer of 2014, I was approached by an up-and-coming author by the name of Giani Jordan. Giani said that he had been following my writing for over a year and was extremely impressed. He was reaching out to me because he wanted to collaborate on a poetry book. Well, since I didn’t know Giani and wouldn’t attach my name or my writing with just anyone, I asked if he would send me a few samples of his work, and he did. I was blown away by the intensity and the depth of this man’s writing, and wanted to know more about this person he clearly was in love with and was writing so fervently about.”
In summation, Giani was in love with a woman {Christine}, who belonged to another, and to make this situation even more complicated, he, himself was also involved in a relationship.
The “snippet” of poetry below finds Giani, once again, sharing his images of love of his Goddess, Christine. Such a beautiful love song, take a listen:
The image I behold
In my mind
Of you, love
Sways gracefully
As you float by
Not unlike the palm
Before a gentle breeze;
And I find
Myself
Loving you.
I revel in the sound
Of your voice
Whispering
Words of love,
Need and desire;
Until I’m lost
Loving you.
Love, you
Take away the breath
I need to sustain me
And give me so much more;
Fire in my heart,
Peace
Within my soul,
Found only
Loving you…
