LOVE LETTER FROM SPACE
POEM
🎵Aura suggestion: “Flutter” by Beau Diako ft. Raelee Nikole
Sometimes,
when composing my poetry,
the experience is
similar to simply sending you a text.
I picture different-colored bubbles, lightly-sprinkled
with heart-emojis,
three or more faces winking,
plus one or two lips
puckered
up, and the words just silently flood out
from heart to screen, effortlessly.
I imagine our conversation
and what meme
or image you’ll send me back to instantly
cavity
crack
my cheesiest smile.
Under two regular-degular, black
brows, my dear, you can now find a pair
of dreamy, heart-balloon eyes
inflated with infatuation, dancing
with digital butterflies as I lie awake,
hoping that every pixel of
loving
green energy
is looked upon favorably, as
it warps across my Galaxy’s radio waves
to ping and
pop
into that alien, blue bubble planet you…
