when we dieand the earth ceases to existand the universe is stripped awayi hope our souls are intertwined so thateven in the next lifei'll still get to witness your beautyembrace your touchlanguish in your presencethat's all I'll ever need
The poet asked for: people who love so much it burns
About free versePoetry without a set rhyme scheme or regular meter, shaped by the poet.
Free verse has no fixed rhyme scheme or regular meter, so there is no rule to check it against. That does not mean it lacks craft. The poet chooses where lines break, how long they run, and what repeats, and those choices shape it.
Listen for Where each line ends, and how that break changes the way you hear it.
