Title: WILD HEART, PEACEFUL SOUL: POEMS AND INSPIRATION TO LIVE AND LOVE HARMONIOUSLY
Author: J. Autherine
Publisher: Autherine Publishing
Pages: 158
Genre: Poetry
Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul, is a beautiful collection
of poems that provide inspiration to strong, vulnerable, badass women
who love deeply, sometimes fall hard but always lead with their hearts.
It is a deep and gritty, fresh and robust look at the thrill of loving
unconditionally, as well as the mental and physical toll that it takes
when peace and harmony are sometimes lost in the process.
Drawing on personal experiences from her own journey of the past 30
years, J Autherine delves into the vulnerable hearts of women from
around the world, including from her early years in Jamaica. Poems such
as Quiet Storm reveal the pain of sudden loss, while The Rebel Soul carries with it that air of doubt or uncertainty we all feel when in love.
The pain and struggle of women who love deeply and pour into others
without first filling their own jars is prevalent throughout, as is the
reoccurring theme of reclaiming your heart in order to live and love
harmoniously.
Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul has the ability to pick
you up in moments when you feel broken or not good enough to be loved
and provide the strength in the love you always need as we search for
the one who is worthy of our love.

“I am afraid that if I say that I am over you, the
universe will call my bluff.”
QUIET
STORM
A quiet
storm blew
through
her life,
swept
her off her feet
and
then buried her
in an
avalanche
of
fallen leaves.
The
ride was so thrilling
that
she didn’t realize how
hard
she hit the ground
until
her heart started to bleed;
he was
already gone.
“I always smile when I see your face. You are on my
screensaver to remind me that happiness does exist.”
THE
WEIGHT OF YOUR PRESENCE
Joy is
being in your space
but not
speaking,
just
feeling the weight of your presence,
occasional
glances,
soul smiling,
feeling
like all is right with the world,
even
for a moment.
“The mind is on a new journey; the body had recovered;
the heart has healed but the badass soul won’t let go.”
THE
REBEL SOUL
I
deleted all your photos,
removed
them from my memory,
trained
my heart not to love you,
my mind
not to think of you… much
but
my soul
still aches for you,
my soul
wants to run to you,
my soul
is waiting, quite impatiently,
to
betray me.
“I am an introvert but call me anytime; that is how much
I love you.”
I
DON’T LIKE PEOPLE
When
the dysfunction in the world
overwhelms
my senses, I cling to you.
When I
reject everything in my path,
I still
choose you.
When my
soul aches for solitude,
my
heart wants to pull you closer.
When I
crawl into my shell to hide,
you are
the only comfort that I crave.
I
choose you.
I don’t
like people, but I love you.
