Blues
I have liked the idea
of neon cities;
lonely people in neon cities;
dark green twilights
with twinkling lights;
a cosmos.
With thousands of thoughts,
and millions of emotions;
a spineless soul behind
the floor- to-ceiling,
with an ocean of thoughts
of my own;
a rock bottom
a darkness,
an unknown,
an abyss.
the sea-bed.
l am a clam,
sitting
quiet and dead
in the unknown,
looking up at the faraway
glimmering daylight,
the citylights.
But with my blues,
just mine,solely so;
inside the closed shells
the clam
wonders
if they will remember
the blues of my heart
and
the W's of their actions,
and the mobs
I have detached from
to take part in others,
just to stay laying
in the reek of wrecks.
I have drowned
in soft sweet meadows too,
and
I have watched
the same paths
I travelled,
being mushed.
It had stormed,
it had poured violently.
the ghost sits with me
on his
death-bed,
talks about
how his vessel drowned
and
how they let him
"perish in peace".
Breathing felt
so so heavy,
and
then after it all ended,
that he had some power,
he decided to become the demon,
big and strong
shattering and wrecking
in the storms,
wasn't he a human too,
a warm soul,
terrified; afraid?
you need to be a human first to become,
a spirit;
a ghost;
a demon;
a monster.
when with years
friendships wash away,
you realize
being acquainted would
have been better.
When you fall in love
with the hopes of being
understood;
you realize
it would have been better
to love their silence
from a distance.
And then suddenly
you realize
you are the adult now,
that you once
dreaded the most;
and being that
clumsy kid was good,
because nobody
judges
a clumsy kid
but an adult.
And now you are thee
Extraordinary.
Walking on the path
with your head held high
for beauty and price,
and then you realize
something pricks at
your feet,
and it's the memories
jabbed into your toe,
and your feet,
and your heart,
the path filled with them.
an ordinary life,
an ordinary path,
an ordinary breath,
periwinkle skies,
and an ordinary luck,
just how many more
switches to turn on
to finally flicker
the bulb of ordinary?
