Lighthouses

Imagintative writing, free verse. It's not meant to be read fast.

 

In this whole,

in this void

My western hemisphere collapses at the sound of the truth

As an explorer, I knew what the lands on the other side composed of.

But yet looked at the lighthouses in search of surrealism.

Tonight on my voyage I watched the sunset yet again.

The beauty of which it darkens

Knowing this happens everyday,

No

one

body

saves another.

We just watch it.

Some are lovers and watch in romance

Others watch in despair longing for contentment

Warming themselves in hopes that

they are worth something to someone

 

So I sent out an sos

and was shipwrecked while crashing on coral.

It beholds life which I can not have and has destroyed me,

punishing me for my sins in the circle of heartbreak.

I yearn for the agility to fly to regions where only liberated souls

can photograph

[or me]

Instead I am forced to swim in this ocean, captain -less with no guidance but the stars above which I don't believe in.

And the towers that once told me bed time stories only whisper what I've heard one too many times.

I, here with no median

Some shores resonate with too much life, too much love

Some: with not enough.

 

I can only let the sun revolve endless times until an undiscovered shore can bring me at ease.

 

I will tire myself in self discovery and build my ship once more.

I would really love to see this performed. :]
These lines spoke the loudest to me
"Some are lovers and watch in romance

You have a very nice beathere, and the wording flows perfectly.
The closing lines also leave me in awe.
This is a great poem, thanks so much for sharing it.

There in places where the eye dare not dwell
The poet finds the answers to life and death
The piercing rhythm of a heart that can't be bound
Unbridled fiery that leaves the lips wet and the mind aching
Seeing an ugly face masked in beauty
The words will never escape them
It is a matter of no surrender
We may only have one life
But our words will leave forever
The poet will take this comfort to the grave

I really loved the flow and the inspiration I found locked in your words. It is always such a pleasure to find my thought captured by your words. Beautifully written and a true treat to read.
