Letters of love

Previously

…The societal barriers, once a distant, almost theoretical obstacle, now loomed before me like an insurmountable mountain range. My poetic heart, so accustomed to soaring on wings of imagination, was now grounded, heavy with the dust of doubt and the bitter taste of potential, permanent separation. The silence of the approaching night was broken only by the mournful cry of a distant owl, a sound that seemed to echo the desolation in my soul. I was a poet adrift in a world that valued silence over song, and my muse, it seemed, was destined to remain forever out of reach.
