~Nothing Else Matters~

~Nothing Else Matters~

A Poem by AprilRN1210
"

.........

"




“What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”

Henry David Thoreau




 






No matter what we’ve been through

you’ve given me hope for something new

trying to dry all the tears that I’ve cried

dying to feel alive… again… inside.

 

Accepting the way I feel for you

has opened my eyes to a different view

no longer trapped in cracked mirrors

seeing facts a whole lot clearer.

 

A world apart stands a simple man

holding my heart within his hands

spilling the sand, we watch it scatter

love expand s--so nothing else matters.

 

When the madness of sadness starts to creep in

I’m stronger-no longer- do I have to pretend

fear fades with each breath that I take

shaking charades made by mistake.

 

Trust I feel and I share with you

kinship of friendship accrued and grew

we’ll get through each path we choose to pursue

these three words don't always spell disaster

I’ll be loving you and nothing... else... matters.

Oh , my Romanticism . Haven't seen this for a while. In fact is not very common around here (The cafe). The use of intense emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension, horror and terror, and awe. In this writing we find all of them. In fact this is probably the "darkest " writing I have ever read from you. I can only assume the reasons are clearly described in the writing so there is no need to put them on show. I really relate to the gesture of the writing. You standing at the top of the castle, bruised and battered emotionally , a storm coming, winds , grey skies falling upon you , your black cloak and the image of the sun at the distance in its reflection that person that will still be there for you until the bitter end.

Nothing else would matter.

Thankyou

It is quite beautiful. Would like to know if you like Evanescence? Amy Lee's Immortal is so beautiful - if you don't know their work - Read only the lyrics first then the music. The second would be Bring her back (think that's it). You'll see on the views on Youtube. Just love them, that's all. What a talent you are - she is the most beautiful girl/her voice angelic. Anyway....Something in your writing reminded me of Immortal, soft sweet - the next one will blow you away.

Gotcha, only did it about a yr ago, at my friends urging; really, you're not missing anything.
I love the tone and mood of your poem. The poem disguises itself yet I credit it as a love poem. The personer anticipating to go on with the lover inspite of all or what people may say. There is lots of alliteration that I appreciate. This poem is good. I also appreciate how you started it in the first stanze. It seem that the love is weak, but there are lot of things that made the persona stick to the lover. Her teard was dried, smiles follows it. Well done indeed.

Your words are a strong medical potion and they stir and invigorate me. Your lines carry an insightful message that is not too profound or overbearing and as usual there is an overall feeling of lightness and kindness to them. I really like this new write of yours that covers an array of complex emotions, including the greatest of them all; love and the beating heart.

omg!!... sorry... just saw this.. oops.. and I KNEW that.. grrrr...
First my dear, April...the song. Metallica are a favourite band of mine and this song in particular always pulls at the heart strings for me for many different reasons. It's one of those songs that can be attuned to so much. Nicely chosen and I do love how you have woven the lines from the song into a few parts. Excellent! and fitting.

Now this piece...wow! You have hit this one out of the park. The emotion that entwines itself with true and deep feelings is remarkable. Life has so many twists and turns in it then their is love which just seems to complicate matters more but love is the one thing that we always seem to go back for. Finding that person is special and the pieces along the way we have collected that have enabled such deep and honest feelings provide us with one feelings of.....Nothing Else Matters.

Loved this April.

Always a pleasure April x
I really loved this. It had different emotions and you were able to express them really wonderfully.
Great flow and writing.
Explains how much you are in love with a simple man and that "nothing else matters" to you. How much you love everything about him.
Great job :D Maybe one day I would be able to write like you. Though I know I never can.

That's so romantic April, It flows beautifully, from sadness to love and hope, wonderful...:)
I specially liked the lines:

"Accepting the way I feel for you
has opened my eyes to a different view
no longer trapped in cracked mirrors
seeing facts a whole lot clearer."

Thank you for sharing...:)

I loved the 'hook' in this poem, "nothing else matters"

The Bible teaches us to sacrifice ourselves to our partner in marriage, over and over again such that 'nothing else matters.' I get that vibe from this. Even though it may not be based on the Bible, the message is the same to me. Well written!
