The House of Psalm Mag

#28daysoflovepoems by Kiara

I wanna know what’s on your mind

What’s hidden deep in the cracks and the crevices and the confines

Of your innermost thoughts 

The things society taught you to take to the grave and 

The shit yo momma taught you not to never ever say 

Tell it to me

Tell it to me anyway

I wanna move in 

I wanna move into your brain 

I wanna set up house all up in it 

All up in your billions of nerve cells for pleasure

and for pain 

Yeah I got the nerve

The nerve to want to know you in that way 

Beyond the sweet nothings 

Beyond the things you say 

Beyond the dinners

Beyond the dates 

I wanna stay but 

I wanna go deep

I’ll let you make a home inside 

The hidden parts of my heart and the depths of my mind but

I want you to take your time

Be careful

Be gentle because 

I don’t often share what’s on my mental and 

I don’t often get too comfortable or get too sentimental with a man 

Take your time and be gentle because

I’m risking it all 

This house is a home

I do hope that you understand 

I wanna go deep 

I think it’s time

It’s time to relocate 

Your place is mine and

My place is intertwined with yours

Look into my eyes and come close 

Unpack your bags and

Unlock your soul 

Uncharted territory 

Nobody knows 

Welcome home 

Everyday in February 2026, The House of Psalm will post an original poem about love — self-love, romantic love, parental love and so much more. #28daysoflovepoems | IG @thehouseofpsalm @kiaraleewrites
