Romantic

 

Romantic poetry originated in the late 1700s as a response to Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution. It emphasizes feelings, creativity, and individuality, and praises nature and the supernatural. Romantic poets frequently explored topics such as love, beauty, and the sublime, and their works are renowned for their expressive and poetic language. 

What's with these deleted kisses?

urP8AJt0yELyuXOomhMo--0--kfs5g.jpg

As of late i'm being increasingly soothingly filled with mornings

these being the afterthoughts of full nights of pulling the map of you from under my feet

 

just in time

in the brink of time

 

for it's becoming so daft a nuisance since your geographic features started to ambush me and circle me and bend my shape in a nightly basis

with its sighs and tides of deleted kisses that i miss so much

so unwritten

so so sunk in black clothes

in a blank smile in tight lips

so unkissed

 

with its four corners and twelve ropes confining the mastermind's works

too much rope for a proper hanging though i guess

 

with its remainders of untold ranges

no worries though

i'll make a point of readjusting the prairie tales and see what's gonna be

heads or tails

 

with its rivers splashing my mind like they're pouring liquor too sour to take in too tempting to refuse

 

with its word-slinging craters driving fire-like trains insane

guess what though?

 

i'll listen carefully

i'll listen intently

 

see

i'll never get used to pacing along the platform with due haste

even when there's no scheduled departures in sight that is

 

i know nothing

 

i do know though it all could so so easily be a figment of my unprocessed enlightenment seasons

so

beware

beware of casually landed and taken shots

Frozen Memories with Hannah

mJ5M5Ry1xHaOe7eMJymG--0--wckbn.jpg

I had a romantic winter with Hannah.

The warmth of her presence felt really cozy,

like an ice vacuum sheltering sunny Fontana.

Each wintry split second with her felt rosy.

Her soft spoken voice kept corroding my world.

It kept my frozen body covered and walled.

Our stay together was a real permafrost.

It did birth memories that will never be lost.

The frost of our romantic adventure was sweet.

It re-echoes every passing moment like a tweet.

Our frosted experience remains indelible.

To say the least, Hannah is adorable.

My memories with her remain frozen with time,

all of which I have penned down as a love rhyme.
