#connection poems on Hello Poetry

pitiful

these people

I can’t see them anymore
I don’t want to see them anymore
I have no desire to see them anymore

I never think about
phoning them or
messaging them or
stopping by to say “hi.”

I don’t care about
what’s happening
in their lives or
who they’re dating
or what memories
we had together

yet they insist, they demand
that I visit them
that I sit down with them
that I talk about nothing important
with them

and I can’t say no

because I know how it feels:

during those times,
when I was down and out
and needed someone
to turn to, to talk to
but there was no one around
I felt the terror & the darkness
constricting my cold and lonely heart
as all the vitality and connection was draining
from my ventricles of ire
like blood from a stone

and so much of that
over a lengthy period of time
has made me a lot stronger,
more independent from people
and maybe even borderline aloof
from all human interaction

I no longer need them
I no longer want them around

but I can’t let anyone
feel that same way
that I felt

so long ago.

pitiful.

Uncharted Waters

Like ships without a port, I drifted aimlessly,
Then, you.
Those smoldering brown eyes, that soft, warm smile—
A distinct connection, a slow, velvet tug,
drawing me into a sensual dream.
Silence hangs between the unspoken, the unknown.
My emotions, like an iceberg in the harbor, remain hidden.
As I gaze at your photo, as if to ignite a deeper connection.
I anticipate your next message, words already warm on my lips.
Every word carefully crafted, your witty dialogue keeps me engaged.
Time slips quickly as I'm lost in this space of just you and me.
Questions posed, not always met with answers.
The steady course: from strangers, to blooming friendship, to more?
Now this magnetic pull holds me, exquisitely captive, time suspended.
This imaginary intimacy, intoxicating as divine intervention, now offers a subtle truth.
Your hand's ghost brushes my skin.
Before a murmur of your voice, or our eyes finally meet, reflections of our souls,
I cling to the fragile, aching hope we will truly meet.
On this vast, open sea of possibilities, you are my compass, guiding me to our destiny.

Online dating....

Don't Miss The Important Stuff

Here's to the
"relate"
in
relationships

A relationship isn't just between partners, it's between friends, siblings, colleagues, strangers, lovers, and non-lovers alike.
It's the connection that gets lost in relationship

Between Rainbow and Melody

As you entered the room
stirring air with suppleness of walk
waking up the stillness with jingles of cymbals
making curtains dance to the sound of bangles
aroma wafted into air from canvas and copybooks
my paintbrush grew restless
and pen became enraptured
my eyes, hands and other parts
became electrified.

My heart spread rainbow in the room
like colours of youth and
lilts of life's melodies.

You who are sitting before me
have the power to
change my consciousness
into painting, poem, melody
or anything else!

I know you'll speak no truth at this time.
I've to be guided
solely by your silence, your eyes and
the inaudible appeals of your heart.

I've to settle before I lose the presence of mind-
whether I should use brush or pen
or my eyes, hands or something else
and create a unique
composition
all in you.

Naked

We misbehave,
On the world stage
No accidents made
As we embrace
Stubble caught in your lace
Let the light fall dim,
As the colors bleed and fade.

When the crowds aren’t watching
Won’t you strip for me?
I want to see that pretty white maw
Grin like a starving wolf before taking a bite of my raw
Take a piece of me with you if it'll help you stall,
But I want every inch of your skin exposed
Won’t you show me what you never show them all?

I want to know you behind the dermis,
I want to feel the grooves of your scars
I want to walk a mile in your vermis
I want to know your thoughts
Trust in me, as nothing could ever harm us

Tracing fingertips along your lips
But am I touching a soul that sings for this?
Can I reach into your anima,
Hug the you that hurts the most
Could I be a healer?
Am I just snake oil wrapped in silver?
I want to see you naked,
Show me what’s under that porcelain pachydermous.

I want to be your provider,
A secret whim, secret insider
A sung hymn, wrapped in you like a spider
I can cocoon in this web we can stay in bed
Tangled in linen but I want to go deeper,

I want to see you weep from the things left unsaid
In the times you can’t get back
In the words you never read
Tickling the sorest soars on your back
Let me take these daggers,
Discard them with condemnation,
I want to see you naked…

We twist and twine,
Like lovers divine
But I know this time
You won’t get to hide.

So let's misbehave -
On the world stage
Everyone watching from their seats
We give into the pageantry of expectation,
Who cares anyway?
They’ll never see you the way I do.

to know someone, to truly know someone is a gift that you should cherish.

folded corners

I want to be your favorite book-
have you thumb through my pages
make me dog-eared and worn
fold down my corners at the parts
where you smiled or thrummed love
and feel your fingers along my spine

couch curled in the yellow glow of
forty-watt warmth and a heavy blanket
open me-
the familiar feel of your eyes
running over my lines
until you know me by heart

an old friend that never changes
a lover that never leaves
your escape
your comfort
for as long as my pages have ink

Master's Apprentice Jun 3

long distance time

stone rolls between my fingers like I am the earth
tumbling it beneath my soil rumbling an invocation
of shape and purpose to this tiny prayer of rock

hard dimpled-smooth skin like wings
It knows the bird dream steps of water dance
winks sideways at the sheen surface mirroring
against the wriggle of nature and fate so
that nothing snakes between shores

I whisper my opus in granite and
defy it against gravity

mountain-seed kissing across water’s horizon
aria in flight slick whizz smack of hope skimming depth
then spent sinks to rest in new shallows

impetuous ripples ring along your shore like
sapphire mischief to ebb the sand gritting
between your toes and I wait for you to
ripple through the rhythm back to me

Master's Apprentice Jun 3

girl in lake

you always made it look easy
to pry back your corners,
carve out a piece of your heart
and transform it into soulsong
Your words and rhymes laying perfectly over your intentions

snapshots of your soul
painted in love and pain and blood,
whispers in your synonyms and syllables.
I saw your soul laid bare, and in my heart it was just for me
each of your tomes a secret glimpse to savor
so brash to see myself in some
and cowardly to hope absent from others

so I wrote.
stumbling after your eloquence,
fumbling and unpracticed
without any of your skill or precision,
clawing at myself for something
I could offer, to speak to you
in your own language
as if some small piece of you still belonged to me

which makes you my muse
of a sort I suppose
For truly every time that I wrote
I wrote for you.
not for you, but to you
to read me and know me
my heart pressed between the pages of a book

and we communed
as close as 1’s and 0’s would permit
through lines on a screen
never able to reach past our fingertips
a call and response
in codes and comment boxes.
A secret conversation between us,
that not even we spoke about
until we didn’t speak at all
but I can still find you in the lines
and imagine you are talking to me

Connection

Now that you've found me after 7 years, it doesn't seem magical or romantic like in the movies.
You have to understand. I thought I'd never hear from you again.
God this is supposed to be a miracle, a red string connection...why does it seem ordinary, kind of boring.
Disappointing, being found by a man who's already kept.
