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 new shape

Letters that are sound enhancing

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

The 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 through the mail,
with a perfume spray friend never stale.
You are living so far away,
                    will you get my lips and perfume mail today?
Hope you can read what I want to say,
I am sending a big laugh your way.
  Being away from a love one is hard,
  miss talking with only reading a card.
Days feeling like you are not in your prime,
but you must go on until the next time.
Loving calls ending with the silent kiss,
                      how do I say you are the one I do miss?

Penpal

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 a hurry
You know how to use words as tender as a touch 
Daily i search for you and need you very much
When you read my letters do you feel the same
Or is the deep line of communication all in vain
Do you look forward to me the way i look for you
When I don't hear from you Im lost as what to do
Better to me are you than a physical friend
Amazing power we both have behind a pen

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 forgot title of 

Because we became stupid 
We lost values in life that were ever existing 
However existing temporary

Alike little curious children 
We again from scratch learning 
Like a feline on his scratch post 

And sometimes letters and digits ain’t any cryptography 
But simply words of forgotten feelings and memories

LOVE 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 I will find you
     in the swirling chaos where love defies gravity. 

I have discovered the truth: 
even from a black hole,
love can escape.
     In its orbit, we are infinite.

(poem written for BLACK HOLE LOVE POETRY CONTEST, Tom Woody Sponsor)

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 all right.

A theme that was recurring
Mentioned we should send him stuff.
It sounded like, to him, our parcels
Weren’t filled enough.

This summer, his own son’s at camp - 
First time, a different place,
But now in photos sent
We see his mostly smiling face. 

His emails sound more upbeat
(Just a tiny “miss you” cloud),
Though he can’t request a package
Since today, they’re not allowed.

My 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 lively
hale hearty and chipper
had pen pals galore
now they're e-pals
it's done with thumbs
some folks use keystrokes
and I'm not sure
if anyone
writes letters anymore

Letters Of Divorce

With these rings, we said, "I do,"
Never planned to play the fool.
Too young to grasp loves weight,
Too blind to heed its rules.
We were D—drifting, never devoted.
We were I—insensible, inconsiderate.
We broke our Vows, splintered trust.
We were O—reckless, outrageous.
We were R—tangled, bitter root.
We were C—careless, never committed.
We were E—estranged, unraveling fast.
A word we swore would never be ours
became the silent sentence:
Divorce.
Too immature for love’s responsibility,
we fled into goodbye.

Letters, Lines

Lines in lightning carved in stone?
Geoglyph, take form.
Mile behind the melee zone?
Keep the soldiers warm.

Bright beside the boreal pole?
Buildings in glass, shine.
Heaven and Hell, thy control!
Doom and Death, we dine!

Trickle, time? Riddle or rhyme?
Boxes, sheath the mime.
Dynamite, done on a dime?
Skidding in the slime...

Forlorn and forgotten?
Adventure, dare to seek?
Render red run rotten?
Ergo, the boneyard creak.

Sleek as tigers in the grass?
Dare not here to tread.
Linen round the looking-glass?
City of the dead!

Chlorophyll, do ye streaks leave?
Deceased child, bereave?
Gold, when absent, do they grieve?
Hone before you heave.

Believe what you want, scion.
Miracles abound.
Chess master, sac queen and pawn!
Flicker til you're found.

Round the vizier's chandelier?
Diamonds, sparkle grim.
Dinnertime! What do ye fear?
Crater, cone to rim...
