I dreamt we were in New York City
I dreamt we were in New York City
with the steel carts and high rises
all shivering in the cold.
Alone in tandem
with the dim, satin sky, and the leftover snow.
Maybe a hand in mine,
it can be hard to see
without the stars.
What does it matter though?
I dreamt we were in the Amazon
with the birds and the wildcats.
They sang and roamed
and fucked and died.
With the fires and the bulldozers
making paper mache emotions,
advertisements on billboards
and TV and my doorstep
but still, I believe in it.
I dreamt we were someplace
amongst photographs and books
full of fantastic stories
profoundly boring.
With the songs and the stars
staring down at us,
not an ounce of judgment in their eyes.
Staring down at everyone
but mostly us.

Thank you so much. This is one of the few actual love poems I've ever written.

Thank you that means so much. So far this is easily one of the most welcoming communities I've ever tried to join and I'm already in love

This is a fantastic piece. It flows so well and the subject of love, never losing sight of love regardless of what terrible things may be going on around us. Welcome to the DU.

Thank you so much. The topic of love is something very close but also a little bit elusive to me. I don't write about it often because I usually don't feel qualified but once in a blue moon, something will come to me. Also as someone who has always struggled deeply with low self-confidence all of the positive words have meant the world. I've never really received feedback on my art from anyone except close friends. just the fact that you took the time to read it made my day :)

They sang and roamed
and fucked and died.
With the fires and the bulldozers
making paper mache emotions,
It is this part I loved most..
But I also loved the thought... of skyscrapers and wildcats and of fantastic stories... profoundly boring
In relationship to just being with someone, so much so, the night sky would gaze down on you.
Beautiful

Thank you, that means so much. I plan to. Sharing the things I write here after keeping them close to my chest for so long has been a great experience. This is such a great community and I'm endlessly glad I stumbled upon it.
