12 short poems to awaken your inner poet

Poetry is a way to connect with our true feelings, it is an art form in which we can communicate what we feel through beauty and passion. Although we can find poetry in everything we do, poems are a beautiful way to express what we sometimes cannot say ourselves.

 

A poem can be the perfect inspiration for that person if they are about to start something new, or to rekindle the flame, or to give them the opportunity to find the beauty of everyday life.

intertwined in the night."

may you love me with violent disregard
for tomorrow, may the cry
of your surrender shatter
against the face of an office boss,
and may the pleasure we invent together
be another sign of freedom.”

How will it be to touch you by my side
I wander madly through the air
I wander yet don't wander”

like my favorite book I want to read you,
line by line, letter by letter,
space by space…”

to achieve and start anew,

You are midnight: the culminating shadow

On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you see fit.”

confidences, glances, and caresses.
Deep down, he was still a romantic
and loved from the waist up.”

that only happen in movies”

because, I don't know how to tell you, the day is long,
and I'll be waiting for you as in stations
when somewhere the trains have fallen asleep.”
