“Love is an action, never simply a feeling.” — bell hooks“Redeemed and restored, love returns us to the promise of everlasting life. When we love we can let our hearts speak.” — bell hooks, all about love, 2000“Remember, love is what brought you here. And if you trusted love this far, don’t panic now. Trust it all the way.” — James Baldwin, If Beal Street Could Talk, 1974“I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.” — Audrey Hepburn
How does this work? Pick a tier. The first will require filling out a questionnaire to get to know your recipient and your affections and intentions better. The poems are titled “For (name you provide)”. Then, off I go to write it with a timeline estimate to you. After writing the poem, I send it off to be delivered straight to your beloved. The second tier is TE AMO’s version of “season’s greetings” featuring two seasonally inspired poems for you to pick for your recipient. Please email for special requests! Poems are available in English and Spanish.
More! TE AMO is available for special wedding love poems, anniversaries, birthdays, sad days, good days, bad days, or just because! Inquire within for live poetry, or for branded work to pair with an upcoming release, product, or event.
Sliding scale options are available, please inquire at cyranopost@gmail.com.

first tier––what you get
Each piece is tailor-made to sing to your own experience, and our work begins with a short email consultation. The poem is then spun from this, titled “For (name your provide)”, and printed on 100% upcycled card stock paper in a soft blush pink or off-white shade. It’s about 5 1/4” x 8 1/2” in size, and the page itself is stamped with a wax sealed rose. It’s wrapped in a crimson red envelope and filled with a red heart-shaped card stock note revealing who it’s from and for. The envelope gets sealed with golden wax, and is mailed off with a postage stamp and address written on the envelope’s face. Available in English and Spanish!
