Maria Johnsen's Poems: Fragments of the Human Heart
Maria Johnsne’s poems explore love grief memory and motion through lyrical reflections of human experience and timeless emotion .
In my poetry, I explore the vast landscapes of spirituality, love, world events, and brief yet profound poetic short stories. Each piece I write reflects my own experiences and the unseen realities that have shaped my perspective.
Spirituality: Bridging Worlds Beyond the Visible
My spiritual poems come from a deeply personal place, inspired by the paranormal experiences I’ve encountered since childhood. Writing these pieces allows me to connect with forces beyond our physical world and share those experiences with others. Poems like The Girl Upstairs reveal a glimpse into this mysterious realm, expressing a reverence for energies and spirits that often go unnoticed. Through these poems, I hope to invite readers to contemplate the mysteries that lie beyond what we can see and feel a connection to something larger than ourselves.
Love poems When I write about love, I aim to capture both its light and shadows. Love is never one-dimensional; it is filled with joy, pain, longing, and tenderness. My love poems reflect on these complex emotions, expressing the euphoria of connection and the bittersweet ache of loss. I explore the vulnerability that comes with truly opening one’s heart, knowing that love’s beauty is often intertwined with its sorrow. Through my verses, I hope readers can see their own love stories mirrored in my words, finding comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their experiences.
World Events poems
My poems on world events are my way of engaging with the world’s pressing issues, from social justice and environmental concerns to the resilience found in moments of crisis. With each piece, I seek to create empathy and encourage action, hoping my words serve as a reminder of our interconnectedness. I believe poetry can be a powerful tool for change, inspiring others to see the world’s struggles and triumphs in a new light.
Poetic Short Stories
In my poetic short stories, I aim to paint vivid scenes and capture the essence of life’s fleeting moments. These poems are snapshots of experiences, often inspired by small yet meaningful moments that speak to the heart. Whether it’s a simple observation or a profound encounter, I write to convey the beauty that can be found in life’s everyday occurrences.
A Unique Perspective
I write poetry not only as a means of self-expression but as a way to connect with others on a deeper level. Through my poems, I strive to capture the essence of life’s wonders and challenges, inviting readers to reflect, feel, and find beauty in every experience. My hope is that my poetry serves as both a mirror and a window, a mirror for readers to see themselves and a window to view the world in new ways.

Maria Johnsen's Poems: Echoes Through Memory and Time
There are some emotions that never leave us completely. They change shape. They soften. They settle quietly beneath the surface of who we become. But they remain , like rivers remembering every place they have touched. The River Remembers Me was written from that place.
These poems began as fragments of feeling: moments of grief, love, longing, silence, healing, and transformation that refused to disappear. Some arrived like storms. Others came slowly, like rain gathering at the edge of memory. Together, they became a record of emotional movement , a journey through the shifting landscapes of the heart.
This collection is not only about heartbreak, though heartbreak lives within it. It is also about what follows: the quiet rebuilding of identity after loss, the tenderness of remembering, and the difficult beauty of continuing forward when life no longer feels familiar.
Throughout these pages, water returns again and again , rivers, tides, rain, oceans, floods. Nature became the language through which these emotions could speak. A river does not resist change; it carries everything with it while still moving forward. In many ways, we do the same. These poems are intentionally simple, intimate, and reflective. I wanted them to feel less like performances and more like conversations someone has with themselves in the middle of the night , honest moments suspended between memory and becoming.
If you have ever loved deeply, lost quietly, or tried to rediscover yourself after change, I hope you find pieces of your own reflection here. And if some poems feel unfinished, unresolved, or lingering, that is because healing itself rarely arrives in complete sentences. It flows in waves. It returns unexpectedly. It teaches us that growth is not forgetting, it is learning how to carry what remains. This book is for those who are still learning how to move with their grief instead of against it. For those who are becoming someone new while still remembering who they once were. Because rivers never truly forget where they have been. Neither do we.
Hardcover
My poems once lived in rhyme. This collection does not. The River Remembers Me is raw, fluid, and unapologetically honest a contemporary poetry collection about love, healing, and becoming. I dare you to read it and not find a piece of yourself inside. We remember. We move. We become.
