She said: “I wish you a kinder sea. “
I feel like I found my old self in this poem book; low self-esteem and hoped to be rescued and seen from afar, by a person. And then they perished.
•the old me•
The present me, I won’t judge.
——.
My love for poetry is immensely rooted in my transparent-but-fully-covered-feeling personality.
I am not afraid to show my feelings, but what they see is often not the full picture.
I love boldly. I hope highly. And when they are not resonated with by the affected person, I am deeply broken.
I am brave with what I have to say, but to know the whole truth, you will need to be keen on walking with me often silently by the sea, by the coffee places, by the book places, or even just by the recently poured grass in a gentle rain.
The poetic deep research and reflection. Sometimes I could not comprehend, but still felt warm and fantastic.
A poetic, hopeless romantic person.
""This morning I gave your name to the waves, and wrote over mine. Palimpsest proof that will undo me... I want you to find me. I want my disappearance to be untranslatable. Feeding prayers into the sea's throat, I run as fast as ink, but we're both dissolving: when I reach you, we become the corner of the sea.""
""You are the oblique arm of an angelic generosity. I am the last sun-glint on a storm-recovering sea""
