Love begins quietly: in glances that linger too long, in laughter that hides a tremor, in the breath between hello and almost.

But it never stays still. The Shapeshifting Heart, Makitia Thompson traces love through every incarnation: from the spark of first attraction to the slow burn of passion, from the ashes of heartbreak to the quiet reflections that follow. Told through vivid, lyrical poetry and grounded in emotional truth, this collection explores the way love transforms us, consumes us, and refuses to stay one thing for long.

Each poem captures a different pulse of love; nervous, wild, toxic, tender, enduring. Until the collection ends where love always seems to lead: to the realization that it never truly ends at all.

This is not a story of perfect endings or grand declarations. It is a story of becoming, of hearts that fracture, rebuild, and keep beating anyway.

For anyone who has ever loved in silence, burned too brightly, or found themselves haunted by what could have been, The Shapeshifting Heart is your reflection.
