Ash
I wish I could capture the dreaminess of it all.
Milkshakes.
The night haze and the smoke.
I long to listen to a song
In a language
That I do not understand
But feel all the same.
I wish I could catch these fireflies.
Neon lights.
The moths and butterflies.
I long to write
The best poem of my life
Maybe under this desperation,
Maybe beneath a new freedom.
Tears are familiar.
And I learned that when you get acquainted with death
There are less things to be afraid of.
There is a coldness,
A numbness,
In place of fear.
But I fear.
I fear being loved...
And loving.
I fear reaching my dreams,
I fear failing.
I fear that once I step out to live again,
I'll end up dead again.
And nine, eight, seven, six, five...
The cats here wish to howl.
Good god, I am tired.
Milkshakes.
The night haze and the smoke.
I long to listen to a song
In a language
That I do not understand
But feel all the same.
I wish I could catch these fireflies.
Neon lights.
The moths and butterflies.

I fear failing.

I'll end up dead again.

Oh my... this little jewel cuts straight through my soul!
This is by far the most beautiful poem I've read here so far!
I read myself when I was a teenager...
I read myself now... years later...
You moved me deeply, dark one!

You're welcome, dear!
I know tough times and I know that by moving people, something inside yourself moves as well...
Stay strong!

Resistance is an endless energy vacuum that will suck you dry
despite your best effort.
I long to listen to a song
In a language
That I do not understand
But feel all the same.
Indeed. Music is a universal
chord that stirs our nostalgic blood
more deeply then we ever imagined.
Good write, Dark one.

I'm preparing my wings, sir, and testing the heat. I'd be glad if you join me for a milkshake. :)

Such beautiful poetry. My favorite lines:
'Tears are familiar.
And I learned that when you get acquainted with death
There are less things to be afraid of.
There is a coldness,
A numbness,
In place of fear. '
Tears can be comforting in their familiarity and I think that maybe, to get aquainted with love also leaves less to be afraid of....

Thank you, Kasai. :)
And I'm so happy to tell you that just recently, I experienced tears from a love of a friend that I am truly hoping I have back now. :) He's the "dearest" I'm always writing about.
I share the love to you...
