Almost blue...

Dreamlight…

I keep on chasing you through time.

My whimsical delight.

Sinfully divine.

 

Was it ever real -

The speed of infinity?

Baiting with this thrill

And some healthy looking affinity.

 

And how can it be sweet,

The sour sound of melancholy?

A deceit so discrete,

Yet such a beloved folly.

 

What can I do except put on a smile,

To make up for the feelings I’m so devoid of….

I’ll hold on to these trains of thought;

                      

Meanwhile,

Let the poets handle love.

Hello, Ana!
I’m really glad to read your poems again.
This poem resembles a strange mixt between Jack Kerouac and Sylvia Plath, a confession of a soft, yet pulsive perspective.
(Nice music taste, tho)

[Ana B.]

hehe, thank you my dear :) interesting associations )))

[Chris]

I have always listened to you for I found you have a talent to pause me that few can. There's more behind your eyes that I await to share.

[Ana B.]

Thank you my dear. You're very generous.

Found this the two faces of theatre, comedy and tragedy. Guess that's how it can be, will be, if, perhaps we expect or more so, WANT from love. People often see what they hope, or are guided by misconception or others' exerpiences or opinions. We each know truth, deep down. Saying that, you write with such delicacy that debate is almost unthinkable, you see life as a sweet bouquet of flowers and that's so much better than a melting pot of this and that non familial. Your words weave a mix of colours, Ana.

[Ana B.]

well, sometimes it's hard to see if life is a comedy on a tragic background or a tragedy on a comical background ...but, personally i kind of think in these therms: if i find time for tears i make damn time for some laughter))) thank you for the warmest words, Emma. Stay blessed :)

[Sreenath]

The last lines were amazing 👌. Has a magical and mystical touch to the lines. Loved reading the poem. Keep writing. Peace

[Ana B.]

Thank you dear!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

That last line made me smile. And who knows how well those poets are handling love themselves...
We do keep on chasing endlessly, I think. What comes out of it is that eventually we learn to put on that smile for everyone. I still need to practice though. lol.
Good piece of writing, Ana. :-)

[Ana B.]

haha, i think we all need to practice every now and then :))) The important thing is to get all the good lessons from it. Thank you for stopping by Yumna :)

The combination between the hidden melancholy and the revealed sincereity of the feelings is really stunning. The last two lines are some of my favourites. I can reformulate them to suit you:
”Meanwhile
Let Ana continue her great work” :)

[Ana B.]

Thank you dear Richard :)

[Crosby Idasa]

Why would anyone wear a smile just to cover their pain... fight your pain and kill it, even if nobody sees your smile! Good poem anyway

[Ana B.]

Thanks Crosby :)
