You pause
and I hear
your s-i-l-e-n-c-e
You laugh
and I sense
the w-e-i-g-h-t
You say
"I'm fine," but
I k-n-o-w
You hold
something back,
I f-e-e-l it
Your eyes
shift, and I
c-a-t-c-h it
Your smile
flickers, and
I r-e-a-d it
Your sigh
mutter truths
u-n-s-p-o-k-e-n
Our tacit bond
needs no w-o-r-d-s,
yet s-p-e-a-k-s volumes
Your silence
ties us in
a t-a-c-i-t thread
If no one else
u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d-s—
I do.

me, me, me
when i read back my poetry it screams “me, me, me” on my screen in bold letters and i can’t shut it up — most days, i cannot make any other words out; i want to throttle a thousand versions of the me gone by, i want to throw myself from a figurative balcony, i want to sink a sword into every pen i’ve held

A Planetary Alignment will coincide with Mercury Retrograde
Double phenomena in the heavens Some people say in jest that the planets have aligned in their favor when life works the way they desire. Were you aware that there are seasons when things do line up in the heavens? There will be a planetary alignment AKA a planet parade, on February 28, 2026.

Such beautiful writing! I loved the format of this one.
I really enjoy the form of this one. This is spoken like a true intuitive person who has connected to another intuitive person. This is very sweet!
You really outdid yourself with this one. Wonderful truly wonderful
"Komal, some connections go beyond words—they are felt in silences, in glances, in the spaces between sentences. 💫✨ I see the weight behind your laughter, the whispers in your sighs, the flicker in your smile that hides untold stories. Even when the world doesn’t notice, I do. Even when no one else understands, I will. Because some souls are meant to be understood without words… and yours is one of them. 💖✨"
Beautifully written. I appreciate the way you've conveyed the power of silence and non-verbal cues. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt piece.
What a lovely poet to show how well you know them. Probably better than they know themselves ♦️♦️♦️
Good work!
This is so perfectly written!💗Great work as always
Whoaaa, this word says it all- love it! The layout of this poem is amazing. You're brilliant!
You've nailed it! Your sigh mutters truths unspoken! Wow, you said it all in just a few words 🔥 The tacit kind of relationship is a blessing, isn't it? When you don't even say, and they get it all. All ❤ Loved your poem ✨
This brilliantly explores the true nature of love --that we shouldn't have to use words. Tacit. Says it all.
