You have searched deep into the contents of the human hearts in affairs of love. It is wonderful to read your poems.
I could not help but think, oh my God, she must keep on writing so that we could have another Yvonne Vera soon.
This collection was full of rich nature scenes and deep declarations of love. I really like the fast paced quality of some of the poems and felt my heartbeat racing to keep up. Every time I thought I had chosen a favorite, another one came along that captivated me even more... Destroying doubt, restoring pride, Words from a friend you have, Awake inverted, and Snow white turning grey were all personal picks of him.

Ms. Kuzonyei has written 60 poems detailing her emotional awakening. Her poetry is an intimate voyage of her personal life. How love and the presence of a true friend can pull rank over pain and tears. Her poems start out with the anguish she was feeling, and much deep soul searching. By the conclusion of her odyssey, this author will find herself at the other end of the spectrum, full of hope and love. Ms. Kuzonyei is noted saying that poetry is a mirror of her innermost being, that she is revealing her undisclosed existence in response to her life experiences.
You will find this book a wonderful collection of thought provoking poems. I must say that even through the tears and anguish of some of these poems the thread of the theme is always about love. As you can see in "What we have, so many envy", "The Queen", "Love follows", and even "Words from a friend you have", to name a few, Ms. Kuzonyei gives us a glimpse into the struggle against her sorrow until she finally finds her happiness at the end. As a reader, you will feel deep emotions from each of these poems and you will come away with a better understanding in yourself. At least that is what happened to me.
While reading these poems I found myself stopping and reflecting on each one so I could absorb them better. These poems touched me as I found some of them to be a parallel to my own experiences in life. Each poem should be consumed slowly, like a fine wine, so that one can enjoy each one thoroughly. I look forward to reading more poems from this wonderful, creative author.

We Belong to Each Other is an assemblage of heartfelt poems by a brilliant author whose prose allows her faith to come out through prose. Using imaginary to transform dreams and emotion into verse Marrily has created a collection of work which will reach the spiritual inner being of not only the most devote of Christians, but the individual whose has yet to step into a house of worship. In the poem With you the author writes, "Our mission is to be awesome, Having what all call enlightening." After reading the collection this is how you will feel. The 60 poems are a fast, cordial fun read. I recommend this work be read by families together. It is something that truly passes through generational boundaries showing true love and devotion.
Love emotions burn throughout these poems, each unique and fresh in its approach to define the indefinable. Reflections on nature illustrate the writer's deep emotional connections to beginnings and endings whether they arise in life's experiences, nature or the consuming topic of this volume, love.
The reader is in for a treat. The expressions of love exude the passion of youth, tempered by the wisdom of maturity. These are reminiscent of the love poems sent by courier in the days when romantic love was delicately expressed in secretive letters. Near the end of the work, the reality of love's uncertainties finds its way into the words of the poet.
Optimism is the main theme, the optimistic view that comes from a heart overflowing with emotion. The sun smiles on love.
I highly recommend this work to the reader who wishes to refresh their own love sparks and feel once more the hope and joy of sharing emotional intimacy.
Marrily Runoona Kuzonyei's poetry reads like a breath of fresh air. Many of her poems touch the heart. Some of her poems such as: "Slowly Sinking, Kept On Thinking", "Spring Sprung" and "Words Of Hope" were very touching. I give Marrily five stars. Her poetry is a great read and I highly recommend it to everyone.

At times the reader shares the anxieties of the poet, and feels the pain in what she is trying to convey, as we read in Waiting, waiting seems near (page 35)
