New poem from an old soul #1

Follow me into the sea and dance with dreams beneath the waves

There are dark and beautiful mysteries here, hold your breath

Follow me into the sea and drink pink salt and sorrow

There are dark and beautiful terrors here, hold your breath

tea, coffee, and bagels

do you remember the day we met? tea, coffee, and bagels? the giddiness you said you felt well, it was absent in me my perceptions have betrayed me before i vowed to avoid any chance of regret learning from mistakes is important optimism swallowed the pessimism my wide smile agreed to see you again

do you remember our first kiss? cookies, cocktails, and movies? the euphoria you said you felt well, it was absent in me my feelings take a while to process i recognized that firsts differ from nexts comfort and happiness develop hope consumed the doubt leaning in, my lips reached for yours again

do you remember our “i love you’s”? burgers, fries, and baseball? the warmth you said you felt well, it was absent in me my mind goes blank when surprised i focused on orchestrating a response how do I know I am in love? anticipation stifled the uncertainty i breathed those words into the air again

do you remember our breakup? trees, rivers, and canoes? the confusion you said you felt well, i felt it too my heart beat as if it was injured i knew this was the mature decision losing someone in your life hurts finality defeated forever i was alone with my regret once again

// harvest moon //

While others

Will dream

About better times

The harvest moon

Will only remind me

About each time I prayerd

For you to stay

And every fortnight

You still left

Taking away

A part of me

A wish, a hope

To be better

Now a blank page

For regrets

Shadowed by the moonlight

All there's left to say

Is that may be

A miracle will save

What is gone

Into the winds

Like old songs

Forgotten

Betrayed

I don't want to be talked down

I wanna go as I meant to

Fast burning, ugly crying

In a despair where sweet talking won't do

fistful of barbed wire hurts worse when you let go @wltcher 11.7.2022 // transcript below

i'm not a good friend / to my self / either follow your own advice / this time / don't pick up / the edges flicker under the mall fluorescent like a halo behind my vision you lie on the periphery of my remembering where it keeps repeating he was younger than any of us now go down swinging / like a pendulum i loved you no one will hear my confession to the end whatever shape the past takes it hangs over me with a sharp and narrow shadow

rain.

it pours and pours onto the earth,

the smell of fresh grass ensues.

just like the way she does her emotions,

and watches the others glance.

there sprouts new life with the drops,

weed or flower, can we not?

they look at her as she speaks,

friend or foe, do you know?

and finally the sun shines after its over,

but the effects of her rain lasts forever.

Watch what you say around me

You could end up in a poem

And if you’re unlucky

It might just be a crap one

With a chaotic rhyme scheme

And far too many similes

Don’t say I didn’t warn you

Live

Life is the waking and battling of urges to not exist.

A shadow not so violent

A voice without malice

A feeling just above numb

I fight

Just hard enough

To write this

Live

// integrity //

Sometimes you just feel so alone. Like no one in the world could know how you feel in this moment. That all the struggles that shackle you are just for your own sake and nothing can free you from it. And you look back and wonder how you got here. How things transpired and you started running from yourself in circles. Every day feels like a mammoth task and eventually you're just at the mercy of your will power to go on. Because right now it just seems impossible to know. To know what it used to be like. Because you're not that person anymore. And you're just watching life pass you by. And you see opportunities, failures, successes just succumb to the weight of your expectations. And you just wish you didn't have to worry and think about these things. These tasks that overwhelm you, devour your courage and leave you vulnerable to the merciless winds of competition a deceit. No one wants to believe in integrity yet everyone is looking for a purpose in life.

i took you out of this world and i can bring you back into it @wltcher 22.12.2022 // 22 lines, transcript below

rough handed now i braid my hair each night so it won’t wrap around my throat as if i didn’t raise me in a grain silo gaze pitched up heart in a lasso, beating by the wish full fist of sky before the fall as if it wasn't my own hand roping the wolf, crying innocent when it steps on my chest in my dream it wasn't as if i'd had wings once still, a red river swayed down my back careless when the wash cycle might unstain me who would wince upon the scar, not the hand that came away bloody currently, i love them most – sondaughter, i’m sorry about the brambles on the way to not regretting despite the person you’ve become

a child of immigrants.

they came to a foreign country on a tourist visa,

but they didn’t know what being a citizen felt like,

they slaved away in a system that worked against them,

just to give me the life that i hadn’t started dreaming of.

years pass and i work hard to honour their sacrifice,

but why do i feel like a disappointment every single time.

‘live out your purpose’ they would tell me,

but it’s challenging to do so with a thousand expectations.

how do i succeed without taking risks and failing,

all the while not giving up the image of success,

that everyone had already drawn up for me.

today, i still try to uphold that image,

and simultaneously go on a quest to find my purpose.

on the days where i’m come close to giving up,

a shameful voice in my head whispers the worst:

would it be easier if i wasn’t a child of immigrants?

The foxgloves

so named

I’ve always imagined

because foxes could wear them

as poisonous mittens

are preparing to bloom

on a Sunday afternoon

spent micro-fracturing my heart

and resetting the break

Prospecting it’s contents

for a suggestion of promise

hoping to uncover

just one decent sentence

Convince me that if I had to

I could write to save my life

The bees are all unfolding

The clouds are looking ripe

———
