by Michelle Stradford

“It is clear that you

have become

my everything.

You are my clarity,

bolstering me

with constancy.”

A verse from Waves of You:Love Poems by Michelle Stradford

[michellestradford]

Keep your heart

dialed up to warm

so that the love

you set free

knows it will be

welcomed home,

judgment-free.

[michellestradford]

You intuitively feel

what I see,

and never attempt

to constrain me.

- an excerpt from ‘You Break me Free’

Michelle Stradford | Waves of You: Love Poems

[michellestradford]

These

hushed whispers

undo me,

releases my

grounding to gravity.

With you, I soar,

dare to be free.

Just let go.

Come fly with me.

Michelle Stradford | When Love Rises

[michellestradford]

Somedays, I just

need to be a face

with no name,

when all I want

is to be left alone

to search…

for a new reason,

to mend these holes

that have riddled me

and left me soulless.

- Soulless

Michelle Stradford | Rise Unstoppable

[michellestradford]

Barely a day

has passed since

our chance meeting

and I have already

caught your fever.

I was too naïve to see

how infectious

and alluring

this tantalizing

attraction could be.

- Fever

Michelle Stradford | Waves of You

[michellestradford]

I touch

your skin,

just to feel

high heat surging

below your

surface.

-Turbulence

Michelle Stradford | When Love Rises

[michellestradford]

We continue

this dance

to each other’s

heartbeats

long after the music

has ended.

-Heartbeat

Michelle Stradford | Waves of You: Love Poems

[michellestradford]

I hide

behind this

sassy smile

so, you don't

catch me

falling for

you.

- Please Catch Me

Michelle Stradford | Waves of You

[michellestradford]

We continue

this dance

to each other’s

heartbeats

long after the music

has ended.

-Heartbeat

From Waves of You: Love Poems by Michelle G. Stradford

[michellestradford]

“You lift me

to zeniths

I never thought

were possible to reach.”

-Silent Guide

-from Waves of You: Love Poems

[michellestradford]

You move me silently in undetectable motion like the moon leads the sea in high tide, calmly coaxing and directing me to rise. You lift me to zeniths I never thought were possible to reach.
