Hi there! Please enjoy this poem I wrote this evening. As always, I really appreciate any feedback on my work, so feel free to leave a comment on anything you like, or that you think could be improved. Thanks!
There is a feeling found
In circling arms pulled tight, in
Quiet conversations, hushed voices at 2am, in
Questions asked more with
The eyes and with the words
“Are you ok?”
I’m fine
Today
It’s in mumbled nothings whispered
Into hair, held close to a chest, pressed
So tight, just to make sure
It won’t disappear;
Building reality outwards
From your arms,
And your voice; resurfacing
into the world and wiping away
The salt, mumbling something
No-one quite believes –
“I’m ok;
I’m
Not
Ok.”
