Jennifer’s moonlit romance verses capture love, introspection, and night sky beauty, exclusively for Different Truths.
the waves from your boat lulled us to sleep on our Paris honeymoon *** interconnected they pull on my heartstrings – the moon, the waves *** my tongue ties the stem from a maraschino cherry into a knot *** walking downstairs into a freshly cleaned house I have imposter syndrome *** I have been falling more in love with the moon ever since we first met *** the stars, the moon the waves and I nighttime companions
