Poetry

I am ecstatic to be posting my first real (non-introductory) post. Many of my poems/ creative pieces I will soon be posting are old. That is one of my favorite aspects of writing, though: coming back to pieces and editing. Traveling back through your writing is also a way to see how God is transforming and moving in your life right in front of you. That's just one more reason to love writing.
I am not planning on adding introductory statements to many of my pieces, because that is yet another reason writing can be so cool. Everyone interprets things differently. If you don't get exactly what I mean, that's okay. This is a poem I wrote a little over two years ago:

Whispers of a smile

appear on your face.

Your eyes glisten,

a faint sigh.

Your hand reaches

as if to grab my heart,

and lock me in.

A simple gesture

melts my inhibitions

and grants wings to my heart.

Seconds last a lifetime.

A world of possibilities 

flutters before my eyes

and through the clouds.

One last wink of the lips

is lightly shared,

before my dreams

are blown away

by the reality of the outside world.
