novel quartz
Wrote a piece for a friend but I feel like I struggle with pure Poetry as my skills have been mostly other styles of writing, I find poetry pacing/ flow difficult. Would appreciate some advice on what could be improved upon!
Spirit to Spirit:
From the moment I spoke to you
I could feel your intentions were pure—
like a shining star across a sky,
your light overshadowing my darkness.
When I look into your eyes,
I can’t look away;
the way a ship is drawn in by a lighthouse,
you are my safety.
Your existence makes my heart flutter,
and your presence opens up smiles
I’d forgotten I had.
My heart feels alive again with you.
There are no words that need to be said;
you see how I feel
before I can describe it.
You hold my heart
so delicately,
yet so securely—
healing a heart
you never broke,
ever patient
while I learn how to be myself again.
Day by day,
I fall deeper,
longing for the moment
we finally meet.
While our souls dance in spirit,
I wish our hearts could touch
face to face—
beating in rhythm,
with nothing
but love
for one another.
