Melancholy Musings of a Shameless Romantic

By Karissa Strain

A poetic "coming of age" derived from an overly romantic heart.

Melancholy Musings of a Shameless Romantic shares the sentimental sorting through and

sense making of life, love and loss therein. Whether finding your place in the world, finding a

partner to navigate that world with or finding your way back to yourself, these poetic musings

might mirror your own.

These poems are about love wanted, love returned, love unrequited...with songs about

heartbreak, sadness, rejection and bliss.

Sunday evenings seem to be

when I sense you the most

I wonder if it's because somewhere out there

you are thinking of me as strongly as I am of you

I like to believe that maybe our souls

meet in our dreams on Sunday nights

Maybe that would explain

why I wake up every Monday

missing you with a renewed fierceness

Our souls know we should be together

and they are brave enough

to cross the boundaries

that we are not

My pen helped me place it all into perspective... perhaps

it may provide perspicuity to you too.
