actually, i just imagined an orange (ironically, I'm not much of a fruit guy); doesn't matter anyway since the orange is a metephor to begin with. thanks for the read.
I just posted a not too cynical "love poem" (Mi Media Naranja) and just remembered that "Nocturne" (which some may see as its sister poem) is along the same vein. I have a more overt, unabashed, sentimental love poem, but it's in Spanish! and I can't seem to locate it at the moment anyhow. Have a good one. (T.V. is so inane!...)
"Love poems" are very hard to pull off without sounding too cheezy or cynical. I really don't have any overt love poems, maybe "For You, Tonight" comes about as close as "How do I love thee, let me count the ways" - "At the Library" and "The Night Will Always be Dark" (or even, as some have suggested, "X-love with a shotgun) are some other poems I wrote that kind of deal with "Love." But they're not necassarily "uplifting" lol...take care.
I don't know if Jesus will vanish like the pyramids, but I definitely know that guys have been looking at girls asses long before people believed in Christ, and will continue doing so long after they cease believing in him ;)
Often. Always. I write something and then I look at it and I think the thought was alive when I thought it but it now looks dead on the page. But I leave it there for days and come back to it and figure out where the life is and where it isn�t and fiddle with the words and gradually it comes to life again. There is always a gap between the thought or feeling inside of you and the words on the outside. The impulse to write is the impulse to bridge that gap, to allow others to experience the thought or feeling inside you. Don�t feel stupid, the struggle you are facing with your writing is no different from the struggle we all face. I�m sure even Shakespeare looked at his plays and thought, �That�s only half as good as I thought it would be when I first thought it.�
Augusta,
I was really moved by Until Then, but I'm telling you in comment form, instead of review form, because that's really all I have to say. I'm not great with reviews. But...well done! I hope you check out my work some time. :)
