Hey Visionaries!

I have written a poem, too. But before you run away hiding behind the sofa, let me tell you: This poem was approved by Sam, our very own Poem!Bitch, so blame her if permanent damage is caused.

Silly

At the twilight of our time
I’m watching the vesper of your eyes.
Every ray of it is a stream
Of something beautiful you brought to my life.

You know, I remember everything
The story of You and I
All started on a Monday evening,
It was raining outside.

I didn’t want to deal with my friends.
None of them would understand.
They couldn’t find me here, I hoped
But soon I realized that I wasn’t alone.

You were standing in the rain
Looking up to the sky.
You took my hand and said:
„I’ll teach you how to fly.”

Too many thoughts of destruction and death
I was thinking, how could all this help?
But I said: „Don’t have my broom with me.”
„You won’t need broom, just imagine, silly”

So I closed my eyes
Squeezed your hand tight.
And together we flew away
To an unknown, imaginery place.

Everything was beautiful and nice.
I don’t know how, I don’t know why,
But I felt like I could understand you
I opened my eyes, only to find out the truth

I, truly deeply, fell for you.

40 years have passed,
But nothing has changed.
I still love you like I did,
When we were standing in the rain.

We survived the war,
Just like you said we would.
You’ve always had
so much faith in me, in us

I remember what your last wish was, I do.
You asked me to write something, a poem for you.

„But don’t be so serious,”you said

„Just something simple and silly
A poem that reminds you of me. ”

So I came up with this:

„Roses are red
Violets are blue
One thing is for sure
I’ll always love you.”

Well?
