Love Lines

Promise me eternity

all I need is your pinky 
to circle mine
and I know I am safe
in the tender and delicate
touch of your embrace

---

the moment my longing stops 
is when I feel your hand 
gently resting on mine

the creases of your palm
like love lines 
deep enough to hold us 
for a lifetime

with every stroke of your thumb
you steady me
calming my dancing heart
promising me eternity

even in darkness
when I am left squinting
I can count on you to hold me
the way roots do to water
and constellations do to shapes

life is precious and uncertain
storms may find us
and threaten our composure
but I wish nothing more
than to weather them
enmeshed and woven to you

our fingers speaking in quiet defiance
a language louder than fear
where even silence says:
we’re still here

Please note:

sometimes when creating a collaborative poem, it ends up that even smaller fragments lead to a unified whole or that words and phrases call for further shaping and moulding. This is no reflection on the contributor. Instead, it’s a beautiful reminder that the creative process is always filled with twists and turns.
