Finding My Heart
written by: Maria Evelyn Quilla Soleta
LOVE’s sweetness overflows
Like a caress of an early morning wind.
LOVE’s tears, in sadness, do not show,
LOVE forgives, despite embarrassments.
LOVE basks in Lovers’ Lane,
The two sip its sweet nectarines.
Within reach of Cupid’s arrow
Under the faint moonbeams,
Toward the ends of the rainbow
LOVE designs fervent dreams!
LOVE is today.
LOVE is not tomorrow.
LOVE conquers all fiery pains,
LOVE is not ‘I-mine-alone-solo.’
LOVE does not exalt.
LOVE finds no shame.
Silent, if need be, but with Truth, ’tis true
LOVE sees pieces of heaven!
“If LOVE’s beginnings, through time, grow,
Can LOVE’s endings, win or lose, never end?”
MARIA EVELYN QUILLA SOLETA gives thanks to prose and poetry! Motherhood is a calling and subject so close to her heart. She lives in Cavite, Philippines. Her poems are unadorned yet truthful, purposely warm, and witty. People, places, things, (living and non-living), and even circumstances give colors to her rhythm and rhymes, stanzas, and lines. She began to write poems when she was six and has published two books on poetry, 'My Twenty Poems' and 'Finding My Heart', (an Amazon bestseller in five categories a few hours after its launch in January 2021). Her works can be found in many anthology books and journals. Evelyn has also won local and international awards. Her poems resemble the works of a woman poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay. Evelyn's husband Danny, and their four girls Andrea, Guia, Daniella, and Laura, and two granddaughters Tala and Mayla, keep her inspired to continue this passion of hers-- Writing!
