Intimacy

Not just between lovers.

Intimate

Intimacy, a love thought to be shared between lovers

A closeness, an understanding,infatuation

The feeling when your fingers first lace with theirs

And you learn the texture of their skin

Intimacy is not just shared between lovers actually

It can be shared with the sky, the trees, the flowers

It can be shared with a dear friend, or an old dusty book

You can even be intimate with yourself

You can take a journey through the woods or the hills

A walk with just you, the trees, and the life hidden in the details

You can feel the wind brush through your hair

And listen to the songs of birds and the annoying fly buzzing in your ear

You can feel the leaves crunching underneath your feet

And look through the tree branches and see the blue sky

You can see the sun seeping through the cracks of the leaves

Just you and the trees, and the details in between

Intimacy is a love that goes deeper than without,

It’s a love that pierces your heart in the best kind of way.

It’s the connection through one another like the deep root of a tree,

It’s the prayer between God and his children.

"Intimacy is a love that goes deeper than without". A very profound observation here. Most of us look for intimacy with other people, but the true intimacy is to be had within. The poem is a hymn to mindfulness. Well done..

This is fantastic. I love how you describe the details. I can feel the leaves crunching under my own feet, and feel the wind. I love your writing style.

I couldnt help but think of a form of intimacy that isnt explored here - not saying your write is deficient just that it lit the path of a different tangent in my mind - that of the intimacy between a murderer and their victim.
Anywhoo this is a good piece on the positive aspect of intimacy.

Excellent! I adored at how you personified "intimate," making it seem so vivid. I also liked how in lines 6 and 7, in the beginning, "It can" you wrote this twice to clearly explain how intimacy can be seen as clean and how mostly everybody thinks dirty. The imagery was on point, i was picturing most of it in my head. The writing, on this one, was phenomenal!

This is great!

The ending was so darn powerful.

I love how you explained intimacy so well. Congrats on the awesome writing!
