there was a silence between us
as we watched the movie
no commentary
no laughter
no sound
just the two of us
our fingers interlocked
our bodies sharing heat
for the first time in a long time
it didn’t feel like it was wrong to love you
to look at you and think you were my future

Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

A love poem about the small moments that build into a lifetime. I adore how you captured this moment. I feel there might be some darkness behind the lines: "for the first time in a long time it didn’t feel like it was wrong to love you to look at you and think you were my future" But I won't prod. ❤️
Sitting in silence is underrated. A beautiful reminder of that in this piece.
👏🏾 we can learn many things about our feelings in the silence. Beautifully written!
I included your poem on my article this week, https://smartdealfinderx.top/writers/lust-for-words-3%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E I hope that more people get to enjoy it ❤️✨🥰
