It does not matter whether the weather is sunshine and clear blue skies, or dark clouds and heavy snow. What matters is that the mind is acclimatized to experiencing the warmth of summer and not the bitter biting cold of winter.
Lazarus Shatipamba
blue-eyed, brown skinned beauty who is not at all tall. whom for i did stumble and fall for when i was walking miles down the main street of my imagination with tired feet. following creativity when i set my sights on you. but you decided to take flight. perhaps i put you in a fright? or perhaps you were simply chasing after your own dreams too. but from just that brief encounter i could feel somewhere deep inside that one day you and i will walk the same path hand in hand like lovers in a romantic film. till then, keep exploring your mind and count on me to find you when the time is right.

A promise of love, you may not be, able to, keep, but it doesn’t, stop us from, dreaming of, one such, love that’s, solely, our,own…

First, I really enjoyed the rhythm and poetics of this poem… but really, how it echoes feelings felt in my own past love experiences, that hope that keeps feet moving after the heart is tapped and then cracked a little bit. Meaningful stuff here.

Thanks Stephan for your wonderful feedback. It was a while since I’ve written something emotional like that, it was kind of brewing in me for a while. But I’m glad you could relate

I will, because while our bodies are at home self-quaranting, our minds will be out there exploring the limits of our imagination
