Letters Poems

Letters Lift Me

Letters lift me 
When my world drowns
Hearing smiles in her voice
I know love exists

Cherish every minute
Days, weeks, hours
Counting as she sleeps
Waiting for her to wake

Breathing small hours
As our paths align
Brushing through our destiny
Drinking outrageous fortune

Our cores braided 
Bodies untouched
Searing blood in our veins
Heavenly tides of emotions

Transparent hearts
Hewn of fire and glass
Fusing with critical mass
An indivisible

Letters that are sound enhancing
and trippingly through my words go dancing ~
that’s the language that I seek
to get all my verse to speak, 
though mostly ~ tongue-in-cheek.

Chain Letters as Desire

Instant the command 
As decisions 
In labouring the fields
A civil war of family's avoiding 
Yet the enactments mimic
As bond as surety 
In financing burdens
One wishes not to carry
Carriage as stable
Nightingales lost fables
Ferry in twist 
Smirking gentle and smits

To the good Friday of Ireland

Premium MemberThe Silent KISS

"A kiss is magical because it touches the heart." Quote By Poet

The silent kiss can touch your heart,
a heart that is very far apart.
       I kissed your letters then licked the glue,
       as I sent all my love to you.
Red lips went flying

Stained Letters

They know your face
Your body

You turned on the camera 
You let them in
Unknown editors

When they asked for more 
You gave it freely 
You didn't know
You were a blank paper

They pry for more 
To see more
To get more
To know more
To write more
You were drawn to the attention like paper and ink

You let them pour into you
Their

Premium MemberPenpal

We communicate through words in our letters
Thoughts that make each other feel better
You share something new from day to day 
At times you're silent with nothing to say
I look forward to your lines of expressions
With your pen you're making deep impressions
At times you can be mentally dark and blurry
Unclear sayings when you're angry or in

Letters and Digits

Digits are opening letters with knife 
Wow it was time before we actually opened a letter
With knife 

Inside, eyes eying the digits and letters 

They say
But they ain’t Simon

Of the times when we sent letters by post 
Sometimes we signed them with our digits 

Occasionally with blood 
But mostly with this kinda polymer we today

Premium MemberWhy we need to leave left behind letters to our loved ones

There are many Christians today, that are advocating always,
That we leave 'left behind letters,' to be read latter on, after 
The harpazo of the church has both come and also gone.
Instructing our left behind loves ones they can still become
Saved during the earlier portions of the tribulation days.

And they won't be on their own, but

Premium MemberLOVE LETTERS FROM A BLACK HOLE

LOVE LETTERS FROM A BLACK HOLE©2025 Sara Etgen-Baker 

Gravity bends; time stretches, light falters.
Love letters appear through the void;
Written in the language of stardust, 
    their ink swirls like the arms of faraway galaxies.

Through the event horizon, I write back
penning my heart to you with stardust and hope,
each letter a promise that

Letters from Camp

I found a bunch of letters
Dated 1993,
Which were written by my son from camp
And forwarded to me.

It was his first time staying there,
For one month, in a bunk.
He was away, with new routines
And he was in a funk.

His letters said he missed us
And was homesick just at night.
Aside from that, it seemed that he
Was managing

Premium MemberMy Words

As my words "cascade" off my tongue,
onto the "myriad" of blank pages.
Each letter will slowly "slither,"
slither into a "serpentine" of sentences.
As I stop to read,
will the pages "lilt" to me?
With tired eyes I see a "nebula" bright night,
as I look out my huge window at the "lunar" light.

Epistle

Will pens
(I'd have to think
when last I dipped mine in ink)
and sad to say
pencils go
the dodo's way
become extinct or obsolete
(oh no)
to the average man in the street
as if it weren't for junk mail
no matter how large or small
never mind trees and ecology
wouldn't have no mail at all
when I was young still a nipper
a lot more
