The Closer I Get to You: A Journey Through Poetry

Written on

Chapter 1: The Unbreakable Bond

In my attempts to escape, I find myself drawn closer to you.

When I try to avert my gaze, your presence becomes even more vivid.

I often feel isolated, like an island amidst enchanting waters.

No matter the path I choose, I remain tethered to you.

Mirrors reflect your image repeatedly, as if to remind me—

My journey begins and concludes with thoughts of you.

Writing serves as a form of reverence for me; it requires heartfelt engagement.

I extend my gratitude to my wonderful friends and fellow poets for their heartfelt encouragement and kind words.

❤❤❤

Please keep me in your thoughts and send positive energy my way.

Let’s allow our poetry to act as reflections of our souls.

❤❤❤

In this chapter, we explore the tension between desire for freedom and the inevitable pull of love and connection.

Feelings of longing and attachment resonate deeply in creative expressions.

The act of writing becomes a sanctuary, a way to process complex emotions.

As we delve deeper, we find that the yearning to escape can often lead us back to the very relationships we try to distance ourselves from.
