    Let It Flow

    SometimesMy thoughts just flowFollowing twin streamsThinking about youWhat it would be like to be with youAnd wonderingCould I love you with my heart wide open SometimesI think I’ll never grow upOther timesThat I’ll never grow oldBut time keeps passing by...

    • I am old school. Grew into a love of poetry because of my interaction with the Beat poets. Sexton, Plath, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, O’Hara and others.
      This is confessional style poetry like Sexton, Plath, Levertov and others.
      I really felt this one.

      • Not many speak of Beat poets nowadays. The cutting edge has become forgotten. I’m honored by the comparison, although I don’t feel I fit the measure. Thank you.

    • It does feel confessional in the way that poets dream about life & love, with a tenderness and unabashed desire both calm & brave. It is what the artform exists for.

    • This poem feels like a quiet stream of thought turning into a river of longing. I love how it moves between vulnerability and hope–questions of love, time, and becoming a better self flow together with such tender honesty.

      • Much of my writing is stream of thought. Loving someone because of how they make you feel, then easily becomes, what do I want these feelings – this person want to make me become…thank you for sharing your thoughts and appreciation 🌼

    • Joe, amigo what a write!
      It felt like wearing an old comfy shirt. I love that line. It’s so true. Personally when it comes to relationships I think comfortable is underrated. Yes, we want to be desired and have great chemistry, but comfort is real.
      It also means you feel safe. So important for love
      Beautifully written

      • You’re always too kind (but I don’t mind).
        Comfortable, at peace, safe, those are priceless feelings.
        I’m glad you found yours. Its hard for us “bull in a China shop” types. 🌼

    • I haven’t posted.much in a while but I’m glad the blessings pleased you 🌼

    Assassination of Love

    Assassination of Love   bullets split sides pristine blame magic disappears the doves   peace is a wounded hope its life's blood shedding red splotched feathers   a molting desire to come together seems to have flown away    a dead wish.     erin-cilberto 9/13/25
