Poetry,  Post From The Past

The Magic Weaver.

Post from the past 17.

​I write and write the night away; while others empty the bottle of wine, I empty my sorrows. Sadness drips like rain in the autumn night. Every song sings the tale of my longing, but with each note, I dream away the frantic search for your heart. Heartbeats and long breaths keep me alive.

​I fondly love the night because of the mystery of the blinking stars—it’s as if they talk to me about wisdom and magic. I breathe deeply and hold my breath before releasing the emotion of envy. I envy those who can see you every day while I have to wait in line. But just for tonight, I walk away from the queue and find myself a corner at the edge of the world. I sit quietly and look up at the clear night sky. The starry night covers me like a soft blanket while tears drip like pearls down my cheeks. They are worth diamonds and rubies, and they belong to a girl who has never known what defeat tastes like.

​Defeat? I have never fought before, so battles are unknown to me and I have never known the sense of loss. I am a winner without having to pick a fight with anyone, and my hands were not made as fists. They were instead made to hold your hand with consideration and romance.

​I want to walk with you through the hours that draw to a close. I want to show you that I paint twilight to soften the bright light of the sunrise, so your eyes will delight in a sun that makes the sky blush at the glance of your gorgeous smile.

​Your beauty takes my breath away, and my eyes are grateful to have the ability to perceive the reality of your existence. You exist, and I cannot live without writing love poems to applaud your presence with a cooing sound of tomorrow and another tomorrow. Because you are the promise of happiness, and I am the weaver of magic. I will catch you if you fall.

​Every time.
