Beschreibung

"Let the light in" is a poetry collection. The poems in this book are separated into three categories: in love, broken-hearted and otherwise inspired. The poems included vary in length, but no matter how short or long they are, they all have a deeper meaning to them. The greater message seems to be "Love yourself and life, embrace beauty as well as pain, embody the light within and know that the universe always has your back." Written in different stages of her life, Janine intended to use mostly simple words to describe profound feelings. Words that are meant to be a gift to the world. Words that are meant to make another soul feel understood, inspired, empowered, and loved.

Leseprobe

Sometimes I wonder

How far these words have travelled

To find their way to me

And on how many traffic lights

They got stuck

Without ever giving up

Reaching out to where I would be

Foreword

To all present and future generations

Don't even bother to interpret these words

Poetry doesn't work like that

It is what it is

It blossoms in a moment only the soul understands

So just take it in

Your soul will understand too

part 3

I'VE WRITTEN THESE WHEN I WAS OTHERWISE INSPIRED

I'VE WRITTEN THESE WHEN I WAS IN LOVE

Love shouldn't blindfold me

But you should

And then whisper into my ear

How beautiful I am

While you're assuming that I know

You're not complimenting my body

But my soul

Don’t love me decent

Love me wild

Just kiss me into

A million pieces

And then fix me

With your smile

My favourite movies

Are all the ones

Where I fall asleep

Right in your arms…

I don’t need to see

Their happy endings

When I have my own

I can hear the freedom

Under your skin

Inviting me in

Sleep with me

Under a sky full of stars

And look at me

Like I’m the only one

Shining

Tell the summits we are coming

We woke up by a ray of sunlight

The mountains are calling

The day is dawning

And we

We're still in bed spooning

While the birds outside are humming

Oh please tell the summits

We are coming

We dressed up like Bonnie and Clyde

Our love language is fluent

We're kind of moving as a unit

But with you

Babe, with you by my side

There's no need for hiding or running

Oh, please tell the summits

We are coming

We always loved to get lost in nature

If only we could live in this sequoia next to the sea

Oh babe, this dream smells like the finest poetry

And you to me

You to me are so much greater

Than this giant tree, oh hold me dear

And please tell the summits

We are near

We watched the sunset

While making our way the last steps to the top

Where you and I could rise above

And there’s nothing

Nothing that I would rather do

Than leaving behind every past fear

Oh please tell the summits

We are here

We were chasing the waves

Until they chased us back

We were running away

While we were laughing so much

That we fell over our own feet

And I landed on top of you

Followed by a moment of silence

And you wondered if I wanted to kiss you too

And I wondered if you could read it in my lips

But you had no clue

That in a moment like this

There is nothing that I would rather do

We have stolen the rhythm of the night

And reinterpreted the constellations

Of the southern hemisphere

We were high from stargazing

And so drunk from love

Do you mind

If I pull you close

And touch your soul?
