Hearts for everyone

By Anne • February 14, 2018 • Life

It’s that time. You know it. I know it. Time for some softness in the twilight of winter (just go with me, winter whiners. Spring is closer than you think). Every year about this time, I fall for a new love poem. Here’s one for those of you needing inspiration in the romance department:

The Emperor

by Matthew Rohrer

 

She sends me a text

she’s coming home

the train emerges

from underground

 

I light the fire under

the pot, I pour her

a glass of wine

I fold a napkin under

a little fork

 

the wind blows the rain

into the windows

the emperor himself

is not this happy

A love story woven through time
A fierce and welcome bolt

Fangirl here. If you have a sweet tooth, I'm coming for you. Let's dish and dream together, shall we?
