Hehe

Classic Wednesday

Your name in my mouth
still fits after all this time.
Some sounds refuse to age.

You catch me staring.
I pretend I wasn’t.
We both let that lie stand.

#littlelovepoems #atticuspoetry #desire #softlove

You read beside me in silence.
Two busy worlds at rest.
The quiet curls up between us.

We move through a crowded room apart.
Still, I always know where you are.
The body keeps its own compass.

Our hands find each other
without looking.
Like we practiced in other lives.
Habit is the softest kind of yes.

You leave the light on
when I work late.
The room waits with it.
I come back gentler for that.

Your name stays unsent in my drafts
like a chair no one sits in anymore.
I keep the room tidy anyway.
Distance has good posture.

Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

~ Michelle Obama

I got frustrated with reposting my writing from Wordpress to Medium and built a tool to automate the posting for me. See publishrelay.com

She walks in shadow, cold as death,

Through moonless halls where silence breathes; And all that’s sharp in life and peril

The world needs more poetry

Fall in love with
a poet
and
you
will be
remembered for
eternity
