open arms of the sea

“it was when I felt
my soul stir
at the sound
of my name
on your lips
that I knew
there’s just
no running
away from you”

Book #3 from poet Layla S. Tanjutco is still delivering the ~feels! It was a little different this time because the first part was sort of a relationship roller coaster 🎢 in verse, and the second part was a short prose featuring a romance blooming between co-workers in a beach! ❤️

“why don’t my monsters
scare you away
when it’s all I can do
to keep them at bay?”
•
This is short enough for a quick read, but the emotions they stir will linger a little longer. I would suggest reading it at the comfort of your home bec, haha, I had to lie down for a moment when I was done with it. 😅

“thank you
for waiting
until I was ready”

On Amazon, the description says it's a story in verse. That's not really true, but if you're looking to lean into love or for quotes to pin to your wedding Pinterest board, this is the poetry collection for you. The kindle version includes a short story at end as well, but I didn't get through it.
