~Poem Exert~

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep."

  • I'm not inspired by the prompts at the moment, but I will try to think up something to enter.
    • hope you make it in go with the title - pretty much leaves you open to write about anything - new beginnings, nature, whatever you like
