Kaleidystopia

Smoke fills my room,
this space of the dark, and me,
basking in the light
of my cigarette's embers
falling to the floor

These five walls chain me
to the reality of constant long nights
of never being able to sleep;
to my mind creating noise
where only silence lingers

When seen through these dreamless eyes,
the spectrum of colours dim
as I try to create beauty from the mundane;
as I try to kill the mediocrity
by vomiting magic from my lungs--

This, the endless black spots,
the grey smoke, the grey embers,
the even more so grey street lights,
and the blinding white from my alarm clock
mixes beautifully together

Another morning came before my sleep,
I look outside and see people rushing,
stressing, to meet their deadlines
without ever knowing what blessing it is
to be able to live without fearing life

And I dream
of beautiful colours never fading--
a place where the word Rest has meaning:
somewhere tranquil, a place of solace
for this sleepless I

I dream of some day rebuilding my life
within an abstract painting

    You dear, are very talented!

    I really love and admire a writer who can take very bold words such as "Vomiting" and mix it with words such as magic and make it deep, meaningful and beautiful!

    I am becoming a huge fan of your poetry..
    You take your dark, sad feelings and bring them to life in your poetry.. and within this poem you mix colors and creative wording to match it... and you did well on this ending..

    I adore this one!! love it!!

      Wow.

      Again, I can hardly express in mere words how much I appreciate you taking the time to both read, and comment, the only voice I speak honesty through. I dare only expose my back truly in the words that I write, and your response to my hard-to-explain honesty is so moving that I really don't know what to say!

      I'm honored, and absolutely joyful in indescribable ways that I seem to have caught the eye of such an amazing writer as yourself.

      So thank you. Thank you so, so much!

      PS: I rewrote the ending of "Breathe Blossom to Decay", and I'd be very happy to hear your response as to whether or not it's an improvement! I'm still unsure how to truly end that piece, because it's hard to describe as anything other than a fragment, and maybe it's a beginning of sorts. But I digress.

      Again, thank you so very much! People like you are the only reason that I can truly keep on standing on my tired legs and keep on walking, because without such an amazing response to my real voice, the loneliness would be too much to bear. So thank you, truly!

      With sincere love,
      K.
