A Soulful Duet
Your words were
the soft breeze that tickled
my ears. They whispered
sweet nothings, and I melted
at the hum of your love.
The ribs which caged
my heart, crumbled at the sound
of our song. And this promise
that the wind has brought
will be a soulful duet.
Between two faraway hearts
but never apart.

This poem was inspired by a piece entitled, Whispered Reassurances, by Chuck of The Reluctant Poet. Please feel free to check this beautiful poem and the rest of his works. Muse and I just couldn’t resist but write an answer to it.
Also, I noticed some of my blogger friends, Vanessa, D, Gina, and Chuck himself, are meeting at a place called, Go Dog Go Café. Anyone who’s up for a cup of macchiato or perhaps an espresso is welcome. Have some poetry on the side and you’re all set!
Lastly, I would like to thank Charley of Life in Portofino for the quick lesson about playing with line breaks. Learning is a work in progress but this is how I can go so far.
P.S. Something went wrong with the first post so I am posting this again. My apologies. Have a great weekend everyone! 🥂🌹

My Dear!! I was searching through my past posts for something else and this popped up as well and I yearned to read this again! And I am so thrilled that I did!!! And with every word I realized how much I have missed seeing you on my site and us working on something new. Has your Muse blacklisted me?
Your words in this poem always caress my soul and I am forever captured by the spell of your words.
Come see me? My words have missed you!!
Chuck

Oh, thank you dear sir. You are thoughtful as ever. My apologies for being away from the blogosphere and my absence in your site. I have been travelling in the real world. Rest assured my muse have not blacklisted you and yearns for us to work on something new– soon.
I hope you have been doing well. I will hop into your site right after this period. 🙂
