Poem

A pen can tell what you think
Through hand-drawn curves of flowing ink

The way ones writes says a lot
Each “t” you cross and “i” you dot

From the heart we share our soul
Expressions laid reveal the whole

As stories grow, we reflect
Searching for truth as we connect

    My poet extraordinaire, …I love the concept, from mind to paper, ( or screen ) … describing the thought process whilst searching for the truth as ideas flow steadily, … invio tutto il mio amore, attraverso la parola scritta, il mio unico e solo, …❤️

      On paper or screen, in thoughts that we share, each feeling transcribed shows me that you care – as do I, my darling lady and Poetess extraordinaire. Ti mando tutto il mio amore, cara… ❤️
