For there are things a loveletter ought to know
I cried rainbows
into these ruins
from hand palms broken
door handles tightened
slowly falling into silence
I dried many a season
all white linen covers
dusted forlorn statics
watching dust fly flaked
life is my longest
truest love
to remind me
that the nature
of nurture
is yet laundering
turning metal
into gold
I cried immeasurably longing
polishing silver with glutton prescient
that only each leap year
would I surrender to grieving
I dried the dress I wore for him
confided to only these stars
to remind me
that the nature
of nurture
life is my longest
truest love
into these ruins
from hand palms broken
door handles tightened
slowly falling into silence
I dried many a season
all white linen covers

life is my longest
truest love

of nurture
is yet laundering
turning metal
into gold
I cried immeasurably longing
polishing silver with glutton prescient
that only each leap year
would I surrender to grieving
I dried the dress I wore for him
confided to only these stars
to remind me
that the nature
of nurture
life is my longest
truest love

Wise and very true words RiAN, written with a delightfully gentle flow, the opening is inspired and pulled me in to the poem, you have some inspired word choices and I very much enjoyed the poem, thanks for sharing.

Your words are beautifully poetic and harken of such learned knowledge and the metaphoric uses you string together are so brilliant. I love the line repetition of "life is my longest
truest love".. it's so reaffirming, imo.
Ty so much for sharing, you're such a wonderfully talented writer. It's a pleasure reading
Much love and respect,

Thank you kindly dear Velvete lady, the muses started whispering all these things to me and before I knew it I was writing. It came out more personal then I thought. Its a loveletter to the self in a way.
Humbled about all the lovely compliments about my writing. And also about the reading list.
Bright greetings and xos

Yes, to love life in the ways that make sense to you is the beginning point, in my opinion, of liberation. Thanks for sharing your excellent word. Hugs and peace, oral

I was rather enchanted just from the title, but the unfolding has a delicate mystery about it that is wonderful.
