Prayer

A Poem by Ana B.

Dear Void - let me stay in your arms,

Just till those notes of jazz are playing over the clouds.

Mind likes to travel through this world’s endless charms

But still I return to my melancholy’s velvet shrouds.

Slow dance through imagination…

Taste of tulips on my lips…

Couldn’t foresee my selfdom’s eradication

As it drank my soul in a few sips…

Oh, those afternoons

That smell of mint and magic

Sailing through my mind’s lagoons...

Through cities devoid of any logic...

Logic...looking for traces of December in July

Late night tales lingering in mornings…

Got such ugly thoughts to beautify

As my mind is still soaring

Will the time stop

If i’d be here all at once?

i love that idea "if i could be here all at once"---
but those thoughts that wander...we never can seem to be in one place at a time, can we.
Negativity fighting against positivity...thoughts and feeling battling...oh thank God for those moments of peace...yes, those precious moments.

"...Constantine... an intense movie."

There are evenings -
I exist in ...thought
and just want to touch
another's soul
and feel their touch
upon mine.

It's all in the "Ayes"...
and being softly held.

Duuuudddee.... I remember you... As soon as I clicked the song...
Are you the one who linked Max Richter to your poems before?
Regardless, I saw
"Dear Void"
As I scrolled though the info feed thingy...
HAD to read...
Was not dissapointed
A true trip, and had to be taken in more than a few sips...
I REALLLLLLLY like the pairing on
"mint&magic"
Super clever, and the ownership emphasized on your emotion
Cold feelings amid hot drinks...
Or is it hot feelings and cold drinks...
