Dialoguing a Car Ride

you asked me to paint the description of your imprint on my heart
but i could not give you an answer on the spot 

i didn’t know how to paint with the flimsiness of mere, mortal words
of a sun so beautiful in its own light, blinding in an endless stream of magnificence and splendour
while the earth sprightly dances along in tandem, content to merely be in the shadow of its warmth 

so i nodded while grasping the wheel
and told you succintly that words could not surmise how i felt towards you
because i knew that you knew that we already know

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
