Sunsets

Sunsets…By Sami Khalil

To Kate Spade

She chased sunsets through fading hands of watercolor longings, enscrolled by the advent of moon silhouettes, in copacetic madness of induced elixir. Unfocused on the infinite, she recovered her insanity from the quilted agony of moaned muffles. Her suntanned hopes enthralled the hibernation of moonstruck dreams. Life desires stole her breath away into ways of surrendering to the prized wings of love. She galloped between the cracks of dreamy recollections, at the edges of strangled aches. Within her womb, a thousand galaxies of timeless sobs in an etiolated nostalgia. Light mizzles steadily gave way to grief, entombing a restless heart. Glorious indifferences faded into liquid sermons, soothing fears of mayhem control. Her lashes enslaved tears of unbroken confessions. The indwelling of stars drifted away like paper confetti, scattered by the winds of change. She was not divided any more by the dichotomy of senseless games. For a while, her exculpations resided upon a chest of world eulogies. She felt pity on a love lived in self-loathing, enclosing yearnings of freedom between the soft chaos of resting within poem of sun kissed memories, dislodging closeted selves, hidden behind curtains. To lend a light, she fought the good fight and soared on height. She chased sunsets through fading hands, lest no one forgets.

It seems the suicides are often of a more high profile these days (sadly) . . . but here at the café, I often read pieces where younger people engage in suicide ideation of a different kind (craving relief from pure hopelessness). Your poem does not seem to convey the same kind of suicide ideation as what I’m used to seeing. Instead of conveying hopelessness as something drab, here you describe it like it’s as bright & full of intrigue as the sunset artwork you use to illustrate your point. Frankly, I feel everything about life is fair game for artful depiction in words, even suicide. After all, it does seem like a gift, to be able to escape from the torment of dreary living. You paint this gift like multi-hued wrapping paper (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Sami Khalil]

Wow Angie! Although I feel suicide is wrong but I also don't judge someone and i feel utmost compassion towards them. We don't know the pain and agony of depression they go through albeit the fame and great achievements. Anthony Birds in is another sad example. May they rest in peace. You are so right. We shouod not idolize suicide at all especially the young teenagers who know no better. Easy to take one's life, but hard to erase all the effects that follow.I just felt a great sense of empathy so i wrote this one.God bless and thank you for raising the awareness.

A tribute kate Spade. She became a brand and branded many things. May she rest in peace.
