Another shimmering Night

3/21/2014

3 Comments

 
Nothing changes for me
as I reside inside
another shimmering night
the day comes and goes
and it takes me through
it's practiced methods 
of surviving this life,
but then evening
saunters in
with a swirl of her colored cape 
splashing the sky with golden pink light
teasing the world
with a dizzying breath of beauty
just before night
and here I reside
inside
a peaceful thought of you
inside a luxurious tune.
I take a breath
and pick up my pen again
I like my alone
I like my longing
I like my wandering
I like hiding out in a book
I do
and I like this sheet of paper
and the way it invites my heart
to reveal every desire that I would never dare say
with my two lips aloud.
And here I am again
at days end again
residing alone inside
of another shimmering night.

Your words flow fiercely elegant. Loved reading the last four lines aloud over and over. I connected with this piece. You're able to go from dull "practiced methods" of survival to the brilliant essence of your dreams, your muse, your conscious. You capture the angst of living in a reality surrounded by seemingly unattainable fantasies. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for sharing.

'Fiercely elegant' may be one of the most beautiful compliments I have ever gotten. I am guessing you just may be a writer too :). Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings on this poem. It's encouragement like this that makes me glad as hell I finally got up the nerve to share my poetry with others!
Thank you Ronnie.

This words are like a fine print b/w photograph, elegantly arranged, this arrange guides you surprisingly to a place where I found the exact tangible words I've been looking non consciously for well known feelings yet unknown due to the lack of the exact words for it. Thank you very much for sharing it.
