Book Review: Love Expressed

'When you reach out in love
Miracles happen
And healing takes place
In you and in the other

Then you are as one
In that light
That goes beyond human
That goes beyond the physical
Beyond the hurt and pain and anger

In that field of light
Of unconditional love
You are PEACE'
- Judgement

Poetry is special for me. A poem must be both meaningful and beautiful to capture my attention. Because I'm picky like that. I love Emily Dickinson Edgar Allan Poe and John Keats but I haven't really ventured into the world of more modern poetry. Until today, with this collection of poems by Tirza Schaefer.

And boy am I glad I did because I loved it!

"Love Expressed" is a collection of poetry of love, romance, passion and sensuality. It represents love celebrated and love expressed with heart, body, mind and soul.

Some of the poems are practically an ode to desire:

'The fire of your lips
Sears my soul
Pervading all
Consuming me whole'

Others make longing and passion leap from the page:

'The drumming of your heart
Strong and even
Like the steady pulse of Mother Earth
Beats a tattoo into my soul
Branding me
With the ink of your love'

Some are vividly smutty and hot, while others speak about an everlasting love that connects one soul to the other. But every single one of them is elegantly sensual and also full of meaning.

'You set me free
And I return to you
You let me free
And I am tame in your hands
You caress me
And I grow wild under your touch
You give me space
And I return to you
From free will alone'

"Love Expressed" is exactly what the title indicates: An emotion, a feeling, a state of being expressed in words, graphic, colourful, imaginative, designed to rekindle your belief in the power of love and that perfect passion is not only possible, but your birthright to enjoy in your life.

True love in all it's forms - mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. This is what this poetry collection here is all about. And it expresses it all beautifully.

'How do you sleep my love?
And how do I fit in?
Into the mould of your body?
And the thoughts of your mind?

I want to find out…

... If you let me in!'


If you love romance and poetry give this little book a try.

It's elegantly sensual and heartfelt. And absolutely worth your time.
