Maybe You Knew

a poem

By Michele NampalliPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

I’d leave you

Hanging,

Ripe and full.

Take an old sweatshirt

Kiss your lips

slow linger

Hold back the ache

Until I’m

packed.

I’d live an ocean away

only to spray your scent

before dancing

and sleep deep

dreaming

of you.

On Sunday nights

An organ plays

Deep and low

Bathed in warm light

Moved.

Tears

fall

on could

sad poetry

About the Creator

Michele Nampalli

This space is breath for my sensitivity. The poems come fully formed. I've known for quite some time now that my art is about receiving more than creation...its the most natural way I know to process my inner world. It started when I was 7.
