Description You smoke your cigarette
from the philter side
and you burn your lips
as you turn it around.

You drag pencils
down your carpet
to avoid the tempting nature
of their sharpness.

You switched
from razors
to an electric shaver.

And you’re no longer
irritated by grey landscapes.

You write love poetry
about the guardian angel
of the last prostitute
you said a word to
before you left.

You wrap your palms
around soap bubbles,
protecting them
in a warm cocoon

And you jump
from the skies
where your asylum girl
taught you to fly.
You jump quietly
like grey dust,
like a talc meteor.

You’ve climbed
a level higher
than the Sunday popcorn
And the cheap porn.

You can’t open
beer cans
with your nails anymore
but you have your hands scarred
By swings and merry-go-rounds.

Your arms
are mourning electrons,
that colorful winds swept away
from them.

And you have opened your eyes
stretching your rays
to bright pink horizons.
And you have opened your skin
soaking the drops of divine nectar
meant for the pure souls of the earth.


And you breed snowflakes
to build white feathers.


But you’ll stay .  .  .

And you’ll grieve


Until you forget


That


Deep down in your
Tobbacco-black brain


Behind



The white-angel-wings-foundation



you’re still




the same





murderer.

i was really suprised by the ending. I couldn't stop readng because I dunno where it was taking me. And for a bit around stanza 9 It started reminding me of a poem i read called 'oets daughter' I thought maye you were refering to a man that did all these hedonistic things, but then he gave them up for..........yea, so anyway, I had to read it a second time, and even though I don't get it all together, wholly; I love the ending and I think it's a great piece of work.

I'm glad, that's how it's supposed to be :] I think that'd be a great ending, too, and very touching, actually... I'm sorry that you didn't get some of it, sometimes no one can understand what's going on in my head but it's generally all stuff about trying to be and look good, punishing himself and avoiding suicidal thoughts...
Thank you very much

I absolutely love the ending, all that imagery is quite vivid. I like the way you repeat "tobacco" in the end from the beginning, kinda brings everything together. Any inspirations for this?

Oh wow thank you, I'm so pleased that you liked it
I'm still trying to see all of it in my head and it's awesome that you can imagine it
Oh yes, i get lots of inspiration from the poetry I read, especially my idols *damnedlostsoul and *kLiT-sHy , this just popped after I had spent a few hours reading poems the same way you can get inspired to paint by browsing paintings

Aма не просто... Тотално божественярско е! Просто в класа ми наистина има поетеси и то доста... Но те римуват картоф с морков, докато твоята поезия е нещо тотално превъзхождащо нормалната мерена реч, това е просто чувство кристализирало в думи и е адски, адски, адски невероятно яко. Просто мога само поклон да кажа... Възхищавам се на хора, които могат да правят определени неща по-добре от мен, а аз уж се справям повече от добре не само в една или две области *самоподмазв*, но ти просто ме убиваш с всеки ред...
Евала! Поклон! И къде да се запиша за тази религия, готов съм джихад да започна за нея :Р
