There is a certain risk in getting to know someone too closely, and many people opt for the superficial, but I see it as a form of self-protection. It takes great human heart to see, understand and accept what lies beneath.
Your poetry is always a welcome presence in the Imaginary Garden. <3
Oh, this speaks of relationships - of what it means to just go that little bit more, take a chance for sure, but yet… well - it's what love should be. I really, really love this.
I love this, Kenia. I'd like to read it to my husband but he'd probably say "I'm busy" or "I can't hear you"! So nice to have you back in the Imaginary Garden. We missed you. K
