It's wearing thin.

My downtown walking embraces all grace.

So distant, so unbelievable.
I walk in darkness and no light follows.
I will be here, and
you will be there.

Thinking deeply in ourselves.

And although we don't acknowledge our existence.

I will go my way, please be safe..
It's a cold night, and your shirt looks thin, like the ice in my chest, melting, leaving...

With your silence, with your mystery, with your sad eyes, and my attention.

Reviews

[Michelle N. H.]

Strangers passing by one another, buried in their own world of thoughts without acknowledging each-other's presence, and yet in silence you reach out from a darkened path, in a shade of light, you meet halfway through. There's a glimpse of a quiet affection and an offer of hope intended for better ways in regards to a stranger's existence on a path opposite your own, of which you shall never tread. A heart can accommodate all.. I'm glad to have stopped by. Your poetry is real lovely. :)

Michelle, I am truly blessed to have been reviewed by such an
Aspiring artist as yourself. Your review was truly one of the most
unique, and intricate reviews I've ever had, each word was
heartfelt and perfectly arranged for the next.
I surely was on the edge of my seat as if I was reading
A poem, one that understood, and acknowledged the
sincerity I was trying to vividly display. A cup can only
spill what it contains, and what I have spilled I hope
you embrace..for dwelling smiles you have provided me with your words.
Thank you so much, it's a privilege and an honor, Michelle to be reviewed by you

I'm smiling here! Thank you, Edgar, for such a beautiful reply to my words. I am really very flattered. I sense much warmth from you, which I both appreciate and admire. You do have a charming and distinctive talent for articulating what's inside. I am very much in awe of that. Surely I can only embrace the likes of you. Have a nice weekend ^^

Saddly Beautiful...love it

Your words are truly remarkable my friend, each time, I read them, their soft touch of real life, mixed with beautiful observations, awestruck me to the bone... you are a sketcher of life, and love... nothing more beautiful, there is, to express it like you can in art. The distance is felt, the thought whirls still, but is about to land.... your caring heart shall embrace the void of each and everyone. For as long there are thoughts, nobody is alone... nobody is.... it's platonic. A real beautiful piece of writing. 100/100 mahalo's, and more.
