DarkPoetry -|- Mute Serenade -|- Ink.

Ink.

I can't cut ties that makes me dream while I'm awake
Violent slumbers wrench me into morning
I hit dark hazes and retro sunset afterglows
Hoping, just hoping, for the subtle blues
Soft gazes and expressions
Breaking under the pressure of loud events
Slipping through asphalt cracks
Into the life I choose to live
With a few digs on the way down....

I could write until my fingertips bled
But it wouldn't change a thing
I could never teach
The trifle clumsiness of new lovers
Shades of a sunrise
Or the ink
As it bleeds into my paper...

"I hit dark hazes and retro sunset afterglows"; i love this line particularly... great piece; sombrely quietly observant, reflective, and beautiful all in one.

melancholy tredding through the simple facts .. yours is yours .. but in the gifting /sharing process .. the memories sparked may be the memories of someone else .. tredding similiar ground .. the gift of commonality ...

This is really beautiful. Good use of imagery! I especially like "the trifle clumsiness of new lovers." Excellent use of words.
