i was dreading the thought of telling you
afraid of your reaction
but upon my doing so
you laughed warmly
held me more snuggly than ever
made it all out to be trivial
in a good way
the same as before and always
good times, trying times
i’m thankful for all
ink eats away the lost time
replaces it with light
sure
pages may have shrunk
but i assure you
i can always
find the story
nestled in the corner
like tangle-free silk threads
suspended in time

My favorite part of poetry is finding original and creative similes and metaphors such as this.
You’re such an inspiration. Thank you. 🙂

Beautiful, I like that style of poetry, the flowing of words not necessarily rhyming but leading you somewhere.
