Poetry On Narrative: The Dream

Sitting without speaking can make you become nothing.

Poetry On Narrative: The Dream

Without having spoken,
I sat in silence
The aroma of heated air
Blesses the wind until
I part from my shadow
I shall meet it again,
One day.

For the eyes will always lie.
They will always wait to see
The right thing;
Their heaven
Sees over the earth
The vision blurred by the mind
The so insecure mind
Taints the vision
And creates its work of art

The soft pastels offend the harsh greyness
Scorching flame of passion,
Does so to the gentle darkness
Where must I see?
Where am I within it?
Outside of the border of the painting,
There lay eyes.

The different works upon the walls
The separated lines of the drawings
The matches against it follow
To the end of the hallway
For I thought there was no escape
From the twisting of the hall
The sense of hopelessness
The loneliness
The words lose all meaning

Burn the paintings.
See how the hollowed stone fits within it
The trunks of forests are filled
With empty air
How could it be any other way?

The smell of something aflame
The fire sprouts from the wax
The passion, the desire to live
To love in this deep, cavernous world
How I missed the point of it
Besides,
The melted candle still burns.

Smelt the ashes into a paste
And bring it to the masses
Enlighten them by the mystique of
The Dream.
Faded fallen figures with faceless expressions
Shall gaze at it
And look at it again

The horror of expression
The vulnerability of listening
The carelessness of saying
The glad spark from the masses.

The spark starts at the top
And melts away down to the bottom
Without sound,
Without air,
Without light,
It becomes nothing at all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
