beautiful ennui

beautiful ennui

 

 

it's the little details

the cumbersome, tedious nothings

those are why i love you

 

hearts can be shattered

by hard rock words

convoluted plots of deceit

the panes broken into

fragments of conquered esteem

and bulbous insolence

 

it's the little details

the cumbersome, tedious nothings

those are why i love you

 

you are a monotony of contentment

i would absorb over and over

because i know the window of your eyes

is transparency

 

that i can believe.

This was delicate and song-like. I feel very appreciative of this message. I wish we were all so soul-bearing as this. The smallest reasons are often play a huge part of love. The subtle specifics that makes it worthwhile and terrific. Also, it's something about the eyes. The speaker knows truth when staring in those transparent windows that spell everything so important so clear, right there. I thought this was very beautiful and metaphoric. This piece is beyond beauty. Great read.

Perfect title for a tender, sweet poem. “beautiful ennui”-“the cumbersome tedious nothings” - the fabric of love that holds it all together, despite the obstacles. Beautifully constructed verses with soaring metaphor and wordage. Organic, flowing so naturally..”transparency that I can believe”- so true and profound j. Love this.

This is a climb in your lap and snuggle into your love kinda piece...the one that feels like decades of assurance. I like the years together and I love the little details!

Foundations may not be the most interesting part of a structure, but they are the most important. Without them the exterior beauty and embellishments are fragile.
Familiarity may be commonplace, but at least it's predictable.
Plenty of food for thought in this piece, Jacob.

Especially as a relationship grows long, it becomes even more about the details I think. We become accustomed to even the annoying ones and take them as gospel and would miss them dearly were they to disappear. Tender and observant, I enjoyed this.
