A collection of micropoetry I wrote on Twitter, finally collected into one piece. Some additions, revisions, and corrections.

*********************

He was timeless
Strong and slightly severe
With the deepest, knowing eyes
At first glance, she knew
She was helpless

She was both dark and fair
Pale soft skin, smoldering hair
And a sorrow held within brown eyes
She caught his eye
He was ensnared

Her eyes met his
Both entranced
By one another
Both romanced
By each other
Two souls
Connected
Like this

To him she was the light
He was the light to her
Both shone onto each other
Into each other
Banishing the darkest night
As they fell
So did their shadows

They examined their fears
Soaked in their tears
Bathed with each other
In dark shared desires
Hungrily they fed the fires

While their pain they stroked
Their passions were evoked
In whispers and moans
And deep muffled groans
They lit up the world
They now shared

He and she
Held tightly
Sweet words exchanged
Lives rearranged
They fit and they bonded
Their love resounded

But even echoes fade

Burned too bright
In their endless night
Both left charred
And with new scars
Surprised by new seeping wounds
And fresh blood they’d wrung

They fought to rekindle
But love quickly dwindled
More strangers now
Than they’d been
When they’d met
Love so strong, now gone
They wept

Parting in tears
With newborn fears
Unsure of themselves
And their place
In the world
Now frightened
Of love unfurled
