A year ago, I got a book,
A gift that I have treasured
It was about a poet so good
Her words were all but measured.
And every time, it doesn’t fail
I get lost in all its pages
I cry, I laugh, I almost wail
With words of love and rages.
I wish I can write a poem
That would touch the heart of someone
But to write the words, a note, a song
Needs magic that has long been gone.
– I am Corporate Junkie.

Now, let’s go to my review, haha!
I think it is but proper to end the month with a book about love – lost love, unrequited love and love that would last, hopefully, a lifetime.
I got this book last year on Valentine’s Day and I love it so much! Thanks, Gay! 🙂
Lang Leav is such an amazing poet. I envy her so much! I resonate with every piece that she has written on the book. Here is one of my favourites:
A Stranger
There is a love I reminisce
like a seed
I’ve never sown.
Of lips that I am yet to kiss,
and eyes
not met my own.
Hands that wrap around my wrists,
and arms
that feel like home.
I wonder how it is I miss,
these things
I’ve never known.
This book is a no-nonsense, literary masterpiece that connoisseurs of words will appreciate. I rate it 5 out of 5. (I am a romantic and I love words thus the rating, haha)
Have you read any of Lang Leav’s books? Did you like it?
