PAPER POETRY
That Unsent Letter
Paper Poetry Prompt#2
I wrote a letter, a letter to you
stamped in my deepest heart,
acquainting the spectrum
full of unconscious emotions,
the spectrum, full of nectar
matching the perfect words
that lingers your name.
Sealed in the colorful stamps
the smoke spiraled from the postbox
igniting to pour my heart out,
with a single hint of the fragrance of the paper,
stroking in every letter, I formed.
With the thought, in everything, I write
I look for love in the distance that stretches between us.
In your name that I long to whisper against your skin.
In the uncertainty of what you feel for me.
In the promises, you never made to me.
Though the letter never got delivered to you
but I’ll still be sticking those stamps with honey
to my heart, to send it to the home of you,
perhaps it’s how you touch me with that letter
that unsent letter, written for your Eyes
that unsent letter, struggling for your Love
that unsent letter, longing for your Home.
