Sacred Love Secrets

How I want to love you more

squeeze into your blood

and nourish

pour ecstasy on the molecules

swirling within

paint love notes

inside your skin

cover, pull, yank, tug, write …

until you know this love

—Sherifa

Love is a complex emotion with the power to either bring joy or break hearts. In Sacred Love Secrets, Sherifa shares contemporary poems about love, desire, the lover, and self that weave life’s struggles into creative expressions of passion, purpose, and joy.

In poems that dance with the suggestion that love is all and all is love, Sherifa explores both the known and unknown that surrounds the most influential and raw emotion of all. While reflecting on love’s continuous, unassuming, and unconditional giving, Sherifa offers a glimpse into her own heart and relationship with her beloved. Sherifa’s collection reminds all of us that love is not a battlefield, but instead, the one thing that holds this world together.

Sacred Love Secrets is a compilation of modern poetry that artfully delves into all that encompasses the vast emotion of love.
