surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
The Little Things
They asked me what love meant to me and all I could think of was me telling you to text me when you got home, always. It’s you offering to drive because you know I don’t like to. It’s you sharing your dinner with me even though I said I wasn’t hungry. It’s the small gestures of patience, of showing that you want to be with me; even with my quirks. It’s feeling like you're home. It feels like belonging. It’s feeling held without being touched. Love is caring about someone else unconditionally; it’s making time, whether it’s convenient or not, it’s wanting them in your life through the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s all the little things that shape a word as big as love. Love is stumbling through life hand in hand with the person who will help you get up when you fall down, but who will also understand you and take a step back when you feel like you need to get back up on your own.
