What was it?

 Day-17

NaPoWriMo-2025


                                                          Painting by Leonora Carrington


They waited for the last word.
A word of reassurance
From the biting swells
To the unstoppable heartbeats
To feel at home…

They held  hands,
Their touch spoke
More than any words
Leaving its imprint on their soul…

They bonded as two halves.
Synchronized in a melody of their own
Moving on a crescent of emotions
Their hearts spoke up for them
Glistening pools 
Joining in their rhythm…

They found each other
The destined strangers
In the portals of life…
What was it they felt?
Love or Friendship!


Prompt: Our daily optional prompt. The surrealist painters Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington moved to Mexico during the height of World War II, where they began a lifelong friendship. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem themed around friendship, with imagery or other ideas taken from a painting by Carrington and a painting by Varo.

  1. You’ve captured that unspoken love so well in this poem, especially in the lines:
    ‘Their touch spoke
    More than any words
    Leaving its imprint on their soul’
    and
    ‘Synchronized in a melody of their own’.
