[Bithi · Rating 4 out of 5]

look away now
forget these tears I cry
we knew summer moments would be over
though we never thought
of the pain
that would shred our emotions
when we had to whisper, “good-bye”

- Kimelene Carr, 'Fallen' from Petite Carême

The poems are simply beautiful both in style, which is free verse, and theme.

These poems tell a story of moments that are sweet, full of love, but transitory.

I liked how this book shows that the moments we love might die, but the memories live in our hearts forever.

we sit
in the final moment
of our beautiful
sunlit days
ask me again
if I love you still

i smile up at the sky
i step into the moving images of us
in the clouds that go by
and i say to you
“Always”

- Kimelene Carr, 'Summer Dream' from Petite Carême

Awesome compilation of love poems.

I loved - You, me a Summer story and Shadows a lot.

Of the bonus poems that the author had offered at the end, I liked 03.01.03 and Revisited.

The most loved lines were 'we speak into the wind of the scars the setting sun has made'.

I wish Kimelene all the very best for her future works.

Again, simply beautiful ... a must read for everyone, even if poetry is not your preferred genre, this author writes about pure love, and this is something we all should read and exhibit not only to our significant other, but to everyone we encounter.
