Description
I did touch
loneliness,
or it might be She touched me instead,
tanglin me up in her embrace...
It's like she went here
to block and dry my blood within,
and now I feel so cold,
in and out this thick skin.
People who won't ask a thing,
because they did already accept
someone else's reasons in it,
are haunting me and say
those who leave go to the joy,
and that should be our peace
inside and out to rest and stay...
But all I see is pain,
questions nobody can solve
trash souls whom were happy one back day...
and then a raging why surfaces,
afraid and unable to make anything right,
and then I just look out to get
why words remains just themselves,
why do they stay so senseless,
ethereally fading away...
Those who leave leave to the joy...
Go and tell it to the one who stands
awkwardly bashed by speed of time...
Go and tell it to the one whom used to hope
in some present justice,
go and face the one whose hand
will never reach again
the shape of a loving man...
I'm over this hill
rushed by windy caress
from Winterly Sir:
and I find no peace
in any of these myths...
But watchin still
towards the one that still rise
although he's breakin inside,
I feel like wishing them to believe
in that sense I just can't perceive...
I wish that those who left
can get him back
all of the gone hopes, and life and all that
they wish to feel touched by again.
I did touch Death onto this unmoving hill:
and She did also touch me.
I wonder who you are,
you seem to have no plans...
You seem to not confide
your razor will erase the broken bones...
You have put onto so young shoulders
decades,
while sometimes you let badness
ruling all of our ways...
And still this empty hill
frozen by the wind
it's gonna rebirth...
And we are gonna remain
unconscious,
afraid...
here wondering why,
here answering ourselves by...
and here we're gonna still stay,
feeling so small,
feeling so bound to be break,
and always unaccepting what we should just take:
what we can't avoid to be...
In this slow game of the seasons,
the only things that change
is our illusion to be ready to make anything
and breathe...
but then why, why, why...
like flowers too beautiful
these illusions will
be flowering all over and over again?
Glittering my mind and heart again?
Again? Again...again?

Hi back...:)
I wasn't intentioned to come here before the end of September, but as time of holiday leaving approached (I leave in the weekend to Canary Islands) I felt it would have been fair to share a bit of what has been up in my heart lately.
Life goes well, work is fine and the activity at volunteer centre with the kids has been a fantastic experience that i hope to renew in the Fall.
But since life can't be perfect, the dark shades of terrorisms have strongly affected me.
This is what I wrote on the eve of London's attacks.
Everyone who knows me knows that town is dear to my heart... and the people in there.
But I am not gonna bend to hate, and I am not gonna resign to fear.
This is the message I thought it was right to share with you all.
I'll be back consistently (or more consistently) here around the end of September.
Miss you all, and I wish everybody good August holidays.
Hugs&kisses, Meli :)

So wonderful to see you back!!!! Such a thought provoking image and words to go with it. As always, your imagery and words do such a beautiful job of examining the depth of the soul.
Oh meli, I've been missing you so much - as everybody else here too I think :-) It's sooooo nice to see you back, and with such a brilliant picture! I like the color scheme a lot, modest and yet impressive. very deeply atmospheric image you've created! And your words are touching as always. Thank you so much for sharing this picture and these thoughts! Feel well, jave a great holidays, and take good care of yourself! :-)

WoW....!!! Impressive work !!! Very imaginative Image!!!!Excellent and Vote!!!!
Non ci sarmai risposta a domande che noi ci poniamo dettate da cose di non-senso. Ne subiamo l'effetto, conscio o non, e ne riportiamo le conseguenze dibattendoci in un eterno conflitto di domande che non troveranno mai risposta. Ed ansia e insicurezza aumentano in un mondo che ci spaventa sempre di piu' e dal quale ci cerchiamo di allontanare, ognuno in modo diverso, isolandoci sempre di piu'. Mi manchi tanto stellina, ho risposto alla tua mail e poi non ti ho sentito piu'... spero solo che tu stia bene, e che passi delle stupende vacanze alle Canarie! ; ) Un abbraccio enorme!

Okay, first, good luck to you!! Second, beautiful poetry to the imagery. I will assume that you wrote it since I didn't notice any credits otherwise, and third, PLEASE let me know when you are officially "back". I, personally, started a five month full time days computer course at a local business college about a month ago. I have all this week and Monday, "finals" for this module's week, then a whole week off, then I'll go back to school for another five weeks for the second module. Four modules total, with a week off in between each one, so it will take app. 6 months before I graduate, so I hope you will understand my abscence a lot around here lately as well...awesome imagery!! :)
Dearest Meli, I know how easy your heart bleed, I can understand your reaction. At the same time i am so happy that your life is fine and that you have a wonderful time of freedom waiting. Looking forward to your return. Good to have this popping in whith this powerful image and poem.
Awesome words from the heart! Bravo Meli and wornderful to have you back! Hugs! I think there's an old song "See You in September" :)
