I Asked the Wind A Collection of Romantic Poetry
We all seek love.
Discover a journey into our profoundest passions and heartbreaks.
From the earliest stirrings of a new romance through the grief of loss and separation, the human experience takes us along soaring highs and deep lows. Valerie Nifora’s simple poetry span over a decade of memories of emotional ups and downs. From the tingling elation of first loves to the crushing pain of breakups and loss, her beautiful lyricism will immerse you in sensuality, desire, and innocence.
“The memories came rushing back, more powerful and emotional than I expected. It had been forty years, but the poetry brought me back instantly. Alternating between raw emotion and somber reflection, your heart is given scant rest as the pages are turned; you vacillate from sadness to joy, from regret to remembrance. Though seldom more than a few lines, they strike out boldly to the heart and the human condition.”– Book Reviewer
The Quiet After You Poems About Love
When love lingers, silence becomes it's echo.
For anyone who has loved deeply and lost quietly.
The Quiet After You captures the stillness that follows parting—the ache, the echo, and the quiet beauty of what remains. Through lyrical poetry and delicate imagery, the collection traces the fragile terrain of memory, grief, and healing.
Each poem is a tender meditation on longing and loss, rooted in nature and shaped by silence. From whispered goodbyes beneath a willow tree to the soft hush of an empty room, these verses invite readers to find grace in what endures, even after goodbye.
