~ And Still

 

 

 

And still, I had so much to ask,

But I was not and am never allowed,

There are flying a thousand questions

Above the temple of my head,

 

They mostly fly around midnight

And often they land on mornings,

With the pleasure of the transparent

Wind that does turn the

Compass of my heart ~

 

Let me forget them for a while;

For they bring me headaches;

Like the hot sun can give you too ~

 

But always they return,

Like little teasing feathers;

When I do not expect them.

 

For there are so many questions I didn’t ask,

For there are too many; I must bury still,

In full acceptance, of this life ~

 

Is it right, that we still are wondering why?

And probably forever will?

For there is a way to pain and suffering

 

Is it fair? I never got the chance?

Or maybe: “I didn't take it”?

It will remain a big question mark

Even I don’t have an answer to.

 

For now, I think, my lips are sealed

Poisoned with black ink through my mouth;

 

Silver needles, crossed them,

And did let love bleed silently forever

For it never dies

So fertile it is…

 

On this moment;

I fly above the dark caves,

Wishing to land,

 

But I’m learning to enjoy, how hurt can be

A pleasure, for I’m not flying alone.

 

I'm not flying alone.

You are not alone. Your writing is such a gift. I have missed it so, and like the "Dia de Muerta" we celebrate the past forever with gratitude. I have been trying to settle. Things are well. This is so ingenious. The words are spoken carefully upon the paper, and even with ambiguity, it is still inherited with great intent by the reader. This place is a master of verbal music, much like the video you posted. Amazing work. You are so not in the dark. I have been thinking of you and this much lately. I had a single review after four months of not being active here and could not resist to read you. As I always will. Great work my dear! X

You're not alone either, you know we are always together alone... :) Your review bring tears to my eyes, love. It's good to read your reviews again, and even better to speak with you. I'm so happy things are fine, and well. I wish nothing more. I'm happy too when you are. I did something I told you hehe... much love! :) you inspire me always... thank you very much for your time, review, and the friendship, my hero. X

~so creative and talented is your writings-
maybe silence is better than those unknown
kinds of whispers - besides one answer comes
then another question follows~it's a great write!~

Thank you James, always nice to have you over... :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

When I am most moved by a poem, I struggle my hardest to capture what it is that touched me so. At first glance, it was the title...then the formatting you gave it, with the delicate font that gave life to your every word.

"They mostly fly around midnight
And often they land on mornings,
With the pleasure of the transparent
Wind that does turn the
Compass of my heart ~"

You are truly gifted!


My best,
Kelly

Thank you so much dear, I'm really glad you're back! :) Thanks for your beautiful words xx

Beautiful words once again, my friend. The heart is a many faceted thing...the mind is the part that plays tricks on us. We innately "need" to know the answers to certain questions, but sometimes the heart is best left alone in terms of figuring things out. It is a unique juxtaposition for those of us who are both "feeling" and "analytical"--you are that, Elisa.

So many beautiful images, i cannot imagine choosing a piece of this one that I like the most. All of your words sing out like beautiful birds!

Thank you so very much Sarah! :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Life is an endless lesson continually changing or challenging our perceptions with ever new revelation. Very well written, profound and concise.

Thank you so much Dale. :) I shall come back for you!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

My pleasure.

At different times of day, mood swings affect us as we walk through the fog of our naivety. Questions without answers about how we determined our fate in the past bedazzle us, for they are lightening strikes of bright cascading "what if's". Every moment is an opportunity for a new choice, a new path, or a cause for more stress in the future

Thank you so much for your thoughts Aethereal :)

[Aethereal]

Pain and suffering are what we feel as we bump into sharp unseen guidepost ahead as we walk through the fog of life. They tell us when to change direction. Pain is a form of wit.

It really is my friend... to embrace pain, is to grow, :)

[kublakhan27]

My dear, I've never related to so much to one of your writings as I do with this one...it feels like something my subconscious would have written...my mind is most frantic after midnight, the sun gives me headaches, I long to find pleasure in pain, and on and on it goes ;) I am so thankful that it ends on a note of optimism, I'm not sure my subconscious would allow me to do that, but your words give me hope that it could happen :) This is a gorgeous piece Eli...stay happy my friend :) xo

Thank you dear Steve, I'm glad I could give some hope in the end. :) Sometimes we feel so weird, and distracted from moments... with such a hot temperature my mind can't focus... although I try lol... :) it's so good to have you by, it means a lot to me my friend, also I am pleased to see you loved this write. xx

[kublakhan27]

I know exactly how you feel my friend...if I haven't mentioned this to you before, I'll probably say it a million times before the summer is out, but this is the worst time of year for me creatively...I have a horrible time trying to focus on writing when it's hot out, but of course I try as well ;) You know I value your presence very much, hope all is well with you when you get this :) xo

And I value yours dear friend... thanks so much for the conversation, and your good friendship :) hope all is well with you too... :) we talk soon xo
