~ Like an Ephemera

It's all temporary....

~ Like an Ephemera

 

When I fly, it is most intense…

And when my tiny wings reach the sky,

As I live breathe and will die

Feeling each breeze through my body

Just up high thinking one thing;

Now I still live, and breathe,

“It was the most intense day”

And rather I would be around longer

And stay…

 

The law of nature will maybe bring me back

But just now I’m dying, and I got to go…

 

Flashes of light bring me back to facts;

I was early mature,

And programmed to love,

To find food, and to build a nest,

To fly around on the ninth hour

To lose my founded food, and to re find it,

And to find my love…

 

But seen as a fault of natural genetics

I shall be just unacceptable and going anyway...

 

Just before I leave, know I found you,

My dearly mayfly, high in the sky

There we fulfilled the moment

The need of pleasure and pure essence,

On that cloud we produced our afterlife

With the sun in our back shining bright,

To be born out of the seas, like our revelation

Or in Greek; “apocalypse” of love,

Maybe just for a daytime…

 

We are the pinnacle of impermanence

And we had a most beautiful flight

But in twenty-four hours you can do more than

We think we would ever reach…

So it’s worthy to let go, this life,

There is no need for tears, as they dry

Of happiness, and only shine…

 

Hold my wing, youth shall be born soon,

We can go, we did achieved our purpose…

The need of pleasure and pure essence,
On that cloud we produced our afterlife

We are the pinnacle of impermanence

1. This piece reminds me of two things the instinct to love and recurrent dreams of flying I have xD

Your poetic voice is like the world-soul's memory of poetry, memory of life. I think when you have left your body, people will read your poems and it will cause quite a good scandal.

LOL, that is what I mean with "Impossible" you're so impossible.... ;-) scandals or not, I transformed into a nude Ephemera.... I'm already death, the 24 hours, I lived spoke history :) x

But thank you deeply, most appreciated, ( you know my jokes by now don't you? ) ;-)

[emman]

beautifully done..beautiful words :)

Salamat Emman! nice to have you by again... :)

[emman]

Walang anuman :)

:-) Wishing you a beautiful day! hook up soon!

[emman]

Likewise ;)

The first stanza captured me. It could have been the entire poem and I would be happy with that. But your talent spreads like wildfire and continues to burn throughout this piece. This is an amazing write.

Thank you very much for your time, visit and beautiful words, I look forward to your writings :)

[Quill~]

It's a pleasure to read your work. :) You have set the bar for excellence.

If my readers enjoy my work, that makes me stay and write thank you very much when I'm home later, I shall read your work too. :))

[Quill~]

:) No rush. I just enjoy reading talented writers such as you.

"Hold my wing, youth shall be born soon,

We can go, we have achieved our purpose…"
too many big words for an old bird like me...

He he... and that is what I so adore about the mayfly, in twenty-four hours, there is a whole life time... as we sometimes are thinking of death my friend. You and me know. Life is just a passage...

[David Scott]

The thought is one that many an insect has inspired the mind to contemplate. Your poem however, is such a lolvely worded collection of thought as to inspire new perspective.
Thank you for your work. It was worth the read indeed.

Thank you David for your insights, and beautiful thoughts. :)Nice to have you by

[writing mojo]

well, I like your description in the flight of life dieing to be heard...some great flighty visuals in this piece. I am very amused by the word choice "fault of natural genetics" very great line to sustain my brain mutter to clear mystery. Is this about life, death, love or just being free from the constrains of a dream?, any way the enigma in reverse was looked upon when my tunnel vision disperses...great piece

It is just I had some poems written were I imagined and transformed myself in mind to some animals, this one is the mayfly, one who lives only for 24 hrs and when it is born is programmed to do all the things a human being does in a life time, I found that very interesting..... Thank you so much my friend :)

[Antonio Valentino]

like the creature in your verse may you fly on gasp and wisp, past the arms of darkened glow and through the glint of sparling memory.. flight is but a fleeting wish, resting quiet soft upon..

- Antonio

Beautiful just beautiful my friend your words nail the celebrating of death so well........ I know, you're a great soul in the same spirit.... thank you very much!!!

[Antonio Valentino]

thank you, for letting me be a small part of your joy this moment..

Thank you sweet friend. It is lovely to be around your precence again. Talk soon! happy eve/night overthere

[Antonio Valentino]

around each other, yes, always my friend.. rest well, dream vivid..

[Everett DeValle]

I agree, with Courtney...Although, I have my own thoughts...just a wonderful write, Eli....for English to be your second language, your message was still profound. Well done.

Hey Ev! thank you so much for your visit on here. Hope you had a wonderful New Year. Don't be afraid to tell me your thoughts, or where I could do better, I"m happy with people who help me out. :)

[Everett DeValle]

Ha ha, I'm not much of a critique...as people who know me...you write your thoughts out...as do I...its either I like it or I don't...I Loved it, and I have enjoyed your work despite any drama, Eli. :)

Alright, well thank you again then :) good to have you back :D

[Everett DeValle]

No problem...I want people to understand, like you do...that we do have our own Lives...we are here to share our thoughts...not to cause stress from others...beside I want to enjoy art, not to stress about it. :)

That's a real real good thought Ev. However, for me stress is to be not as good as I like to be ;) lol.... I always want to improve myself into the next level. You maybe would do the same, if you tried to write in Dutch, or another language, I bet you would be happy with my help :D take much care... and relax always, it's a good caracter thingy! :)))

[Everett DeValle]

Ha ha everyone should improve on the next level...it goes without saying...I would love to write in Dutch, if I spoke it...I'm sure it is a beautiful language. :)

Oooh lol it isn't I hate it lol..... it's all back in the troth, and ugly to hear, lol :D one of the most difficult languages too in the world.... pfff... even I have difficulties with it still.... each Dutch has.... I would love to hear you speak it though, it would be awesome! :D

[Everett DeValle]

Any new language to learn is difficult, to learn...I know 3, not that I'm willing to learn anymore...its the story of Babel...when we as humans only knew one language...then the Gods, said, we were too smart for our own good creating this ginormous tower....dispersed us all over the world with different language...even now, in each country there's even internal dialects...strange...no...its true...so don't get me wrong...the Dutch are beautiful people with their own language...and all over the world people speak their own language in their own beauty...okay, truth be told, I don't think Cantonese is a beautiful language, but that's just me lol. :)

Yes, that's the wonderful ancient story, nobody ever could speak the same language... and there was misscommunication. At least the language of love, and friendship is universal. It's very sweet and I feel honored though you say this. Cantonese (China) is wonderful... Manderin too.... it has just the beauty of one syllable stylish words. That's me too lol :D

And I can't denial I have a weak for Russian and the "Cyrillic" letters.... so magical.....

[Everett DeValle]

lol, I'm not going to lie...Cantonese sounds like cats fighting...again, that's just me, and if anyone wants to direct that towards me, that's cool, I'm not being racial, it just sounds like that....Mandarin has a different intonation, since I've been to that part of China, and Mandarin sounds a little bit better than Cantonese lol.

HAHAHAHA, it does... it's very nasal.... and ai ie shu wa to a..... but it has it charms.... :)

No, nobody is racial... it's freedom of speach, how it is interpret is not always how it's meant. I'm half blooded, well triple blooded myself, Euro, Asian roots, so, I would never be racial, It does, one of my best friends here in the Netherlands is a Mandarin woman, she's beautiful, and I often eat at her restaurant were she speaks Mandarin with her parents... and I melt each time... :D

[Everett DeValle]

I rather eat at a Vietnamese restaurant...then Chinese, but that's just me...I do have my favorite Chinese dishes...truth be told, the most spoken language in the world, IS Chinese...you would think it would be English, but no...its about numbers...and they have the most people in the world...and like you, I'm a half breed, which I hate to say due to the racist connotations in America that people around the world don't know about...I've traveled...and seen the ugliest Americans during my travels and I'm American...or I think I am...since I'm being political....its truth...if there was a war like world war 3, for example, it would be about resources and nothing else...I won't believe BS about ideoligies...you look at past American Wars and Geo Politics...its about resources....oil, etc...we have a billion people living on this earth and who is to say we can feed them all? Just real talk Sweetie.

So If I offended any Chinese...Sorry, just speaking truth, it doesnt sound well to me. :)

No it's Chinese, as the Economy is beaten USA and Europe, always Rotterdam was the biggest harbor, now it's in China. So it goes. And it's ok..... Vietnamese foodies are great, I love them! But I do love all Asian foodies. (Indonesian especially ofcourse my roots) I make many rice dishes always, I do love to put my whole heart in cooking. I can understand what you're saying.... in all you say. I always try to see the world as one big fam. I love to travel, and see like you new places. Even I find bad Turist Dutches, laying on the beach with a plastic bag of our most famous supermarket, and think, geez, coudn't you just be not that stingy, and buy a decent beach bag.... you know what I'm saying??? just those little irritations of my own peeps....

[Everett DeValle]

Well everything is Made In China...sad to say, I went there to visit the Great Wall Of China...and the products on the streets, Were Made In China...they were homogenous people...they don't take kind to half breeds but ae willing to use us in their favor...that's what I seen...even in the Philippines they own Corporately...mind you, they work hard and do anything for money...what America doesn't know...is all Asian countries dislike China. And that's truth.


Now, Iay order beef broccoli over rice lol...have nice night Elisa. :)

:D I am listening dear poet......

[Everett DeValle]

Ha ha, that's enough politics...they don't want to hear the real truth...From An American...I'm probably deemed dangerous already...Freedom of Speech here is NOT Free.

But HEY I write Romantic/Erotic Poems....nothing Political...sheesh....BUT If I did, I'm sure the Whole World Would Listen.

Oh just come to Holland, and be free dear.... I was still letting it all down, landing in my brains, and wanted to come back with a thoughtful word, but it's late, and I'm jawnin here.... as I already must have gone to bad much earlier this night, it's so freaking irritating I have so often time difference with the thinkers of great countries... lol. I know how you're Ev... and how you write. And it's YOU, so it's good. I know the world does listen to you.... Pity and for me strainge to understand in the Land of the living dream, Freedom of Speech isn't free, explain me more about California, as I see it as the state of the most free experiences, and dreams that could ever be~ or am I wrong? I'm just a little Dutchie... you know, nothing more.

bad = bed, geez.... haha

[Everett DeValle]

California has the Best Marijuana in the world...BUT, to bad I've slowed my ways...The state of Washington and Colorado legalized it, which is great, and it sets up our Wonderful State...I'm sure, Gay Marriage will be approved in the years to come...to give equality...but not for our Southern States of our union...it doesn't bother me, unless, they impose how I live as a Straight person, and that's the conundrum of things....give an inch, they take a mile. Nite nite, Eli.

Oh maybe you mean HERE on WC? you shouldn't care about WC. Who hates it can easily press the flush button, who is interested shall respond... :)

[Everett DeValle]

WC is wonderful...its FREE, and its the only website I write for...you know, how many other websites write me to write for their website? A Lot...but I choose this place...and I express myself to write here...who gets the traffic for their advertisement? They do...its not me. They should be glad they have writers like us. :)

Yes, true, have been through that too... this is the best place. Others aren't that good. You speak truth, Yes. I'm more reservated though than you, but maybe I should walk out of my little shell more.... thanks for being you Ev.

[Everett DeValle]
