Sharing Poetic Intimacy
Poets have been inspiring lovers through all ages to open up to deeper love. Reading beautiful poems and songs for each other can be a sublime experience!
Throughout history, poets have inspired lovers to connect in deeper layers of love and intimacy, to rekindle the fires of elevated passion between their hearts. Reading beautiful poems, stories, or even your favourite romantic song lyrics to each other can be a sublime experience.
We invite you both to make this a special moment by finding – or writing! – an inspiring poem, story, or text that has touched your heart and that holds some of the deep feelings you long to express. Plan ahead so you can share this with each other, while lying in bed naked. Feel free to make the atmosphere even more romantic with cozy lighting, scented candles or beautiful flowers.
When your partner shares their chosen piece, set the intention to listen with an open heart, knowing the words flow from their heart to yours. Be curious about what drew them to this poem or text, and notice how you discover a new nuance of their soul when you allow it into your own heart.
After you have both shared, take some time to share your experience and how the exercise made you feel. You can ask why they chose this particular piece, the answer to which can many times bring some beautiful surprises and deeper intimacy to the experience and your connection overall.
