Gothic Melancholia

another melancholia musing.

 

 

 

Gothic Melancholia

 

The beautiful entity that hides in the walls of insecurities,

Drenched in septic opinions.

Purity in a brink of lost from the influence of invisible fears,

Drowning, almost - breathlessness…

Little bit of innocence and its essence, survived!

Making life still worthwhile.

feeling vulnerable makes me sick easily. Now I'm sick(stomach pain, dirty water infection), feeling down, and growing old(birthday is coming,few more days.) :)

thanks for reading my friends, sorry if I am not arround much, I just don't feel well. Despite all that, I am still surviving life!

I love the topic and the photo of Gothic cathedral...One of my favorite styles in architecture! Your poem gives really melancholia and little hopelessness, but as always comes to the conclusion of light and future...All around us is meaningful and worthy. We are pieces from the universe, and we need to stay in ourselves and do as much as possible for our inner beauty...We always have to express our essence and be true!

I really do feel you in this one bro, Birthday's make me sick too, I'm glad mine is over lol... there lays so much in between the lines and litterally in between your borders of how much you can hold, it's like there is the need to speak it out, as you do beautiful, and the water will stream over the quay- I wish you well my dear, I know times are difficult, and hard there. And I do love it you express yourself so beautiful, and all of your feelings in the written word. That helps a lot... thank you once again, for your visual art, you bring. ((HUGS)) such a sad, but beautiful perfect piece.

oh, you too? you know big sis, I am usually sickly in my childhood days as far as I remember, i think I have asthma, I remember breathing in into a oxygen mask just to level my breathing... that is why i don't play any sport or I haven't learned any at that time yet when my mother have a strong religious faith and she took me to this church every birthday of mine, ever since then I think I am doing fine, and can be active like everybody else. Now that I am here, I can't continue that tradition of mine, perhaps that is why I am get easily gets sick, last year I got a strong fever, now I got stomach pain, but I get better as my birthday have passed and I know that my father light up a candle to thee very same church I go every year... its a religious tradition... hgs, I can't with your presence here and grace me with your warm insight as always, take care, and more hugs...

Thank you dear for giving me a peek into this story of your youth, ofcourse now I can imagine all... Hugs and take good care of yourself, you are stronger than you think bro -xx- :)

"Purity in a brink of lost from the influence of invisible fears,
Drowning, almost - breathlessness…" so true, something to relate to. But remember, even in your darkest hour, have no fear for its essence is to measure what your made of and just like dusk ends and dawn breaks, it will pass.
hope you get well soon ;)
