I traced the lines of your voice
in the dark
learning the map of your thoughts
without touching
and in that silence
I understood intimacy
is not just skin and breath
but the slow revelation
of what it means
to trust someone
with your quietest pieces

Ohhh! That’s so deep!!!! I even found some practical wisdom to be noted here from this beautiful piece of art! 💞❤️🙂
Awww, thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness ❤️
You’re BEYOND welcome! Your kindness should be known to the whole wide world! ❤️
Lovely poem. Trust can be hard to come by at times, so it is a wonderful addition to such moments. 💙
Trust is hard to come by most times. Thank you so much for the compliment 💙
My pleasure.
What a lovely work. Speaking of quiet, this has such a gentle quietness about it. How you build to completion is so soft but disciplined. The last line is beautiful and it carries so much weight because it feels earned and not just performed. So well done.
Thank you for reading it with such presence. I let the poem move at its own pace and trusted the last line to carry what had been gathered along the way. I’m grateful you sensed that.
Beautifully penned. Read it several times. Bravo! 😎👏❤️
Thank you so much ♥️
Oh, this is the cream to my coffee this morning. Excellent piece. It is true.
Oh what a lovely comment! Thank you. Definitely need some cream for the coffee 🙂❤️
Really loved the tender intimacy of this!!
Especially, the lines:
“I traced the lines of your voice
in the dark
learning the map of your thoughts
without touching
and in that silence
I understood intimacy”
Bellissimo, Jennifer, Bellissimo!!!!

What a wonderful compliment, Cindy, thank you!
Trusting, comes so hard,…and opens a doorway that creaks with misuse, …but once found and welcomed, …’tis heavenly, as is your prose, …💙
If only it wasn’t so hard at times. Thanks, Penn 💙
