Hold Heart With Both Hands ©Dawn Minott

In the uniqueness of our differences
we intertwine
Like threads
A woven fabric of togetherness
A mosaic of conversations
Words becoming bridges
Closing chasms

You, with your laughter
Illuminating the dark corners of my solitude
Stitching warmth into the fiber of our days
Where opposites blend into workable harmony

And in this pairing
I find myself unfolding
Unarmored
Discovering a new rhythm to love—
one that lingers
one that heals
one that holds my heart with both hands


Afterword: Throughout June (the month of love), I focused on Eros (Erotic Love)—posting 30 poems, starting with the pantoum, “Journey of Love in June”.

These poems portrayed the complexities of romantic relationships—the passion and intensity, the break-up and the make-up. Some explored themes of intimacy and deep connection, capturing both emotional and physical attraction. Others highlighted the enduring nature of romantic love. Those relationships that evolve over time through reason, duty, and shared long-term interests, like in enduring relationships and marriages.

In this final post on romantic love, I explored the coming together of seemingly opposites, commitment, and stability.
