black and white image: fingertips touching

in the space
between our hands

lies a universe
of closeness

a quiet proof
that even the smallest touch

can carry
the full weight of a heart

#intimateconnections #romanticpoetry #writingcommunity

You, the morning sun
My heart sings a dawn song when
your light fills my sky.

He was
the wild rose
that infiltrated
my spaceship

I wanted to float
amongst the stars,
away from
all of it

but a vine
latched on,
a living thing—
vital, real

transforming
the mechanics
of my isolation
to something
organic

& I landed again
without even
noticing—

hand in hand
with this
starman.

Amid petal rain
'neath sweet magnolia trees
he kissed me softly.

I map the spirals in your palm,
a star chart from my universe to yours

I’m pulled through darkness
until your #touch locks with mine

Two breaths,
synced across time and space.

If you turn it clockwise
my heart will not unlock—
its cogs don't spin
so cleanly

there is a gentle knack,
few have ever cracked
& I can't offer
any advice—

only my heart knows
how it works

but once in a magical
blue moon,
another heart ticks
in rhyme with mine—

the lock turns

& my heart
opens.

When it feels
as if dark swathes
separate us

especially then

I hear our song
swaying on the wind,
as if to say—

there is nothing
that can truly
keep us apart

since a thread
of light & hope
connects our hearts—

singing always

even
in the dark.

Thank you! 🙏 💛

The moon's eye,
watching through
a misty cataract

flowers close
for the evening
deceived
by light's leaving,
all to be forgiven
come morning

& in the dark,
I steel myself
for the day ahead
wearing dread
like a lanyard

still, a thread of hope
that I'll be
as the flower
unfurling
come morning.

Not perfect, life left
marks, but he didn't mind the
dirt on my fingers.

Love arrives
with a vicious kind
of splendour—

raging in,
a glowing thing,
teeth clamped
to your heart,
utter certainty
in its grip—
not to wound
but to cure

still, rationality
curls up
in the dark
as feelings
tower high—

this beast of love
must sprout
its wings
& fly.

My poem.

Through the march of time
only the shattered heart knows
love’s lost that’s not loved

Thank you so much! 🙏💛

Before you kissed me
I was swaying on the verge
After, what a fall.

You, a bright crocus
In the snow, a beat of life
Amid all the cold.

Flash of her blue eyes
turning my dark stifling clouds
into a fresh sky

It’ll end in a crash
we knew that from the get-go
but what a wild ride!

It’ll end in a crash
we knew that from the get-go
but what a wild ride!

#haikufeels #crash

We let the night
carry us where it may

we looked to the dark
not as a barrier
but as a gateway
to the very deepest parts
of ourselves—

we wished to share them
with each other,
make shadow contracts
the day would
not remember.

Your love came to me
when I was not at peace,
my spirit restless,
yet it was stilled,
by your dazzle—

now you are
the stardust behind
my eyes,
the overlayer of magic
upon everything.

their lips collided
spiraling, veering recklessly
past better judgment

"Is this love? " is not
a question I need ask, my
heart holds the answer.

@oldsoulprose.bsky.social

In an enchanted dreamscape
his perpetual love
orbits around her tenderness
he’s obsessed with her,
his climactic warmth embraces her
like satin snowflakes hug the earth,
stellar sonnets sing
his moonlit confessions
before the sun.

Let's never settle
Let our wild, nomadic souls
Wander forever.
