“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

[anitacastelynnebooks]

The icy fortress around my heart cannot keep me safe from the warmth you've held inside. What it can do, however, is melt the walls and escape. Leaving me bare and cold, but tempted. To follow or to rebuild, I cannot say. For it is you who melted it all away.

"I stopped sending paragraphs, stopped begging, I stopped telling people how to treat me, and started walking away, blocking, and distancing myself. Life may be lonely, but it’s become peaceful. Sometimes being alone in life is better than being surrounded by half-ass people." - Unknown

[leonardospoetry]

Too many days and nights  passed through the body  and slowly took  the body away.  Where is that child?  Where is that childhood? I drift in the tides of time  and lose myself wave  after wave.

Stranger

I never met you

but your beautiful words

helped me write my own poems

and value my own time

so thank you

for letting your words

be read

by a stranger

because you have helped me

in small ways

that you will never know.

I celebrate you

and every word you write

so thank you

for sharing

with me.

“Then the rain came, like stammered kisses at first on the back of my neck. I unfurled my fist for the rain to caress with its lips. I turned up my face, and water flooded my mouth, baptised my head, and the rainclouds gathered like midnight overhead, and the rain came down like a lover comes to a bed.”

— Carol Ann Duffy, “Rain” from Rapture
