14 Stunning Instagram Poems For The Die-Hard Romantic In All Of Us
For all of us who could use a little more love in our lives.
You don't have to dig deep to find poets on Instagram like Christopher Poindexter because their influence and words are always there when you need them the most.
Poindexter's poems are all about love; whether that is love lost or love found, the poems on his Instagram page are like love letters you find in old library books or kept away for years: beautiful and understated, yet full of meaning.
Scrolling through his Instagram page, you can't help but get lost in Christopher Poindexter's prose and the way each poem is typed out on a typewriter, making even the construction of his verses feel romantic.
He describes himself as an author and a lover, but he also dedicates many of his poems to empaths — people with a unique ability to relate on a deep level to others' emotions and feelings. For all the die-hard empaths and romantics in the world, Poindexter's words are like guides for those who want to say something more than just "I love you" to someone they love.
Instead, these poems say so much more than those three little words; Poindexter likens love to the Universe and gemstones, which even to people like me — who aren't as attuned to romance — these words are touching and beautiful.
