This is just a soft little poem that I’d like to share this week. I’ve been posting a lot of Commute content recently – check it out on this page if you haven’t already – but sometimes it’s nice to just write pretty words and let them become a poem, because poetry can be so beautiful. Anyway, without further ado, here is A Pastel Love Note.
A Pastel Love Note
I love you in lavender;
the touch of your fingers
between classes – a lifeline,
so pretty in pink, and a face
crowned by autumn –
you are safety, melding
into warmth: body heat,
snatched kisses in corridors,
a static-backed sweet nothing
in my ear at 3 AM, and a promise
that everything will cease shaking
by dawn – you are a soft home.
