I have never held
A love as gentle as this
In the palm of my hand
❀
Never before gotten to
Trace its outline with a pencil
❀
Never broken so gracefully
Never before admired the pattern
My pieces made on the pavement
❀
I used to love in neon colours
But I adored you in shades of pastel
And I will never forget how
You softened all my
Sharpened edges
❀❀❀❀❀

Wow❤️❤️❤️ just how im feeling right now
Love Your poem, beautiful!
Beautiful Poppy :)
What an absolutely beautiful poem! The contrast of 'neon' and 'pastel' loves is so unique! Wonderful, wonderful piece!
Great poem poppy. Loved it.
Beautiful
What a beautiful poem - softened the sharp edges..." I know people wish they could soften mine, LOL! Loved it.
Sweetly sad… written in your typical evocative style. I especially like “You softened all my Sharpened edges” & the neon & pastel colours.🩵
So Gentle and beautiful.
Ah! So gorgeous, Poppy. The art metaphors are always so heartrending in the sweetest way. I adore this bit: "Never before gotten to Trace its outline with a pencil ❀ Never broken so gracefully" I don’t know why but the line breaks at the beginning are just so effective toward the emotional heart. And I love that turn, the "never broken so gracefully," away from the beauty of love and into the beauty of heartbreak. Such a deceptively simple piece; the layers go deeper than a first read might indicate 💜
This made me smile. Loved your poem!
Oh my. This is amazing, especially those final lines " I used to love in neon colours But I adored you in shades of pastel...." Excellent work.
The imagery of holding a gentle love in the palm of your hand and tracing its outline with a pencil creates a vivid and intimate connection， thank you for sharing this touching piece of poetry！
