My worldly place (the world i wish to live in)





From the palette of my mind, I feel like painting everything around with my verses.
I yearn to capture the naiveté, the eccentricity, and the imperfections of this worldly place.
But, before that I’ll camouflage myself.
I will hide my presence,
mix in my palette,
dissolve with my colours,
drink them and enjoy each flavour, they bring to my soul.
My poems are the paintings I create.
But for this one, I will myself become one.
Paint this worldly place with the most exquisite colours ever found.
I will colour the sun blue,
the blue found in the deepest layers of a spirited sea and the sky green.
The same green that rests beneath a blossoming red rose.
imagine a blue blooming sun clad in gay, green clouds.
the sky will become a garden, a garden we yearn to touch.
and the sun will become a flower.
A flower we yearn to pluck.
A flower that bloomed each day and wilted each night.
A flower that everyone longed to have but wouldn’t dare to touch.
A flower whose beauty, wouldn’t lead to its own end.
That will be my flower in the garden of my imagination,
in the lap of the world I create with my verses.
My worldly place, a place where even a flower would live its own destiny,
without the fear of being smothered for wearing a short skirt.
that would be my place, my worldly place!!

  1. Imagining the beauty that reside in this blue flower metaphor,
    Is even more satisfying than imagining a broken cup pieces cumming together to form a cup again and come back to table.
    Seeking a garden in the sky shows the love towards the earth but still being at the highest point you can be "in the sky".
    i love the use of words in this poetry, they are making every line as imaginative and touchable as possible.


    it makes me yearn for the next poetry of yours.
