Wow, making a poem from your emotions is such a wonderful way to express yourself! Feel welcome to share your poems sometime, if you like!

We also have a poetry sub-community here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/poetry/ if you'd like to check out some from your peers also!💛

I wrote a poem I think a little while ago I can share with you. It’s pretty generic and has numerous cliche lines, but idk, maybe you’ll like it? I’d love to read some of your work!

Your essence haunts me

I swear I only told the moon about you

But with such information

I wouldn’t be surprised if she had shared our story with the stars

They twinkle a sort of Morse code

But my soul is too young for such old languages

All I can do now is search their sparkling hieroglyphs for solace

The day has finally reached its end

With only her murky glow left to guide me

Shadows are now carved from once full branches

And dead leaves offer a lullaby with the wind

I should put you to rest

But I’m not sure if you’ll return

If I shine a light, will you come back

Or will I just attract some bugs

I’d like to imagine a butterfly would appear

You always spoke so fondly of them

But I am reminded again that it is nighttime

Where the moths now roam, drinking up moonlight

What a silly mirage they offer

Almost a butterfly, but not quite

I was almost good enough

But I wasn’t exactly a butterfly, was I?

Part of a poem I wrote:

Broken is the man who

Finds pleasure in anothers pain

Broken is the man who

Hurts others for worldly gain

Broken is not the man who

Tried and failed to save

Broken is not the man who

Wept at a fallen's grave
