THE POEM
Oh,
How we dance dreamily before the crack of daylight,
Make merry merrily masked by the mysterious shadows,
Concealed by a lack of light.
How we dance dreamily before the crack of daylight,
Make merry merrily masked by the mysterious shadows,
Concealed by a lack of light.
We see each other,
if at all glittery silhouettes count for perfect vision.
if at all glittery silhouettes count for perfect vision.
And touch each other,
if only because in the seemingly deceiving darkness,
we are each other's support.
if only because in the seemingly deceiving darkness,
we are each other's support.
But the fear and apprehension still hangs heavily in our hidden hearts.
Will we still want to dance with each other eternally
when the glittery silhouettes
are replaced with honest blemishes and scars?
when the glittery silhouettes
are replaced with honest blemishes and scars?
AND NOW FOR MY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
So a bunch of my beautiful readers mentioned that the bad thing about poem posts is that they are a bit too abstract making them a bit hard to understand. So after being struck by a moment of inspiration I decided I am going to compile an ANTHOLOGY.
Now let's be clear, I am by every standard an amateur who does not know a thing about how to do so. But it won't hurt to try right?
The proposed document will be in form of a pdf which I want to link to some site (probably google drive) which anyone and everyone should be able to download. At least that is what I want. I also want it public because I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism and reviews about it as well.
About the anthology itself? Well it is obviously themed around a love story. This is because the idea became a bigger possibility when I realized I happen to have a collection of poems with that theme lying around everywhere which were written at different times and inspired by different events but which when put together can somehow tell a story.

The title?
Still thinking about that but I am open to suggestions, think along the lines of finding a first love during a Kenyan Summer.

So of course I need a ton of help so any reader out there who knows a thing or two that can help, please just drop a comment here or on my social media pages. And if you are good with IT and can help me figure out where I can post the document for easy download, that would be great!
Anyway thanks for dropping by.
Love and love.
Love and love.
