“I wrote you a letter once,
borrowing words from a dream,
filling the gaps with my warm breath,
while I pondered over perfect synonyms
to describe feelings you never felt.
Those words have long smudged.
Dark, cold and unyielding.
Today, I write again,
with a piece of heart,
carving gentle streets of Paris,
that we once wished to visit.
Engraving craters of the moon,
underneath which,
a promise was made.”

A love poem for the eternal romantics. The words flow like a gently cruising river.
Love the flow of emotions in your poem and the sense of longing.

Love how smoothly your words flow, and how you convey so much, in such few words. 👍
I wish poetry would come to me so easily
Time fails to heal some events that have cast deep wounds on heart… but the eyes of the poet can see everything under the Sun!
Good read.
