Be gentle people, it has been two months since I attempted to write poetry. There is plenty of rust.
who am i
who are you
her reflection sighs
fogging the mirror
before I can steal a kiss
who am I
the mist dissipates
revealing a garden forgotten
a mirror image of me
two flowers of dark love
sowed in solitude
I soil my face with jasmines
her scent whispers to me
you are my soul
I am the air that you breathe
This was simply so beautiful! You definitely have a knack for poetry! ❤

Love the first stanza and the last line the most. I’d say, “Way to dust off the rust!” Sorry to read about your complications and the need for further surgery, especially during all this crazy ‘c’ time and in Florida! Take care Drew, you’re in my thoughts and prayers. xx

There’s so much love in those words. There’s an eternal sense of belonging, for some reason too. I cannot explain why, but each word leaves me breathless. It’s so so beautiful.
