Endless loops of your voice replay
Like petals unfurling
In no particular order and all together
I’m drawn in, sweet nectar
The words fill my ears creating imbalance in the Eustachian equilibrium
Drunken and unable to comprehend their meaning
But so familiar and… so good for that matter
A ringing tinnitus that only softens with my confusion
I return to fetal sleep, float in the sounds of these dreams
And in my wake
Smell the flowers to which you once tended
Cerulean delicacy
Fragile droplets leave the glimmer of salt
The eyes will not feast while the heart hungers
As petals fallen to the ground will surely wither
I thought I was the ground awaiting your return
But I am the roots that will dry up
Long after your befallen beauty

I'm just here. Until I'm not.
“Eustachian equilibrium”, “Cerulean delicacy”! I’m flabbergasted by your imaginary. Finally, one of the few poems I can happily resonate with and enjoy reading.

Thank you! Well I am a night owl by virtue (or by misfortune), which when I do the majority of my writing. Most of my pieces are melancholic (not all) so it seemed befitting and came naturally. I hope that is satisfactory for an answer.

It is! It makes a lot of sense honestly and I enjoyed reading your explanation. I’m a very inquisitive person and I love knowing the inner workings of others. I think your choice is very fitting and creative . I can understand being a night owl. I have anxiety and ADHD so sometimes my mind keeps me up no matter how much writing or exercise I do in a day lol. It can be rough but it’s awesome that you use your situation to create 🙂 thanks for responding ! It’s lovely chatting

I’m glad you think so! What I can’t put on a canvas I try to in words. I really enjoyed your piece by the way. Especially the lines
“I let it flow by me.
I’m so above this nonsense,
I’m almost walking on water”
There was a lot of personality and I loved how you remained respectful yet above the other characters immorality, but that reference in particular was so creative!!

Aw thank you so much and thank you for stopping by 🙂 I cn understand completely what you mean. I can paint ok at times but not really well so I try to do the same with my writing but I also try to change my writing too and try different styles. Sometimes the rhythum comes naturally from somewhere I can’t identify ( by your writing I can tell you’ll understand) and other times I’ll

Other times I have to just start writing . I often try to write from a different perspective when I write, either from an animal or object or mischievous spirit, or another person . It’s very enlightening and I learn a lot about others and myself in doing that . 🙂 writing is such a release .
