Fade to Black
When I first came back to Hive after the hardfork over 2 years ago now, this was one of the first communities I sought out. @moeknows was kind enough to fill me in on what actually happened with the split from steem. We had conversed quite a bit back before everything happened and he was one of the few people who I respected, both for the things he wrote and for the obvious thought he put into them.
One of the first things he did was point me towards LeoFinance and I have been here ever since. I haven't written much poetry lately, but with the continuing development of LeoThreads, I ran into @dbooster while #threading. He reminded me of this place so...here I am. Back with an entry to the latest prompt (Darkness) in sonnet form.
My eyelids flutter, cracks of light seep in
So bright, they close, then open up once more.
A glimpse of beauty, alabaster skin
Suffused with life. The waves crash on the shore.
A hint of perfume lingers in the air.
Like gentle fingers running down my spine,
It tickles mem'ries teased within despair
Of love so sweet I dare not call it mine.
Awareness comes, surroundings recognized
The vision fades, reality is back.
This love, once strong, now melts before my eyes.
And eyelids close once more. I fade to black.
For darkness is the safest place to be
When light reveals the mess I've made of me.
What a climax.....
It happens with us. To escape the reality and to find a safe place where we wouldn't be reminded of our mistakes we wanna take the cloak of darkness..... safe haven
I do remember #neoxian was one of the hot community at that time, Glad to see it is still active and people are working on it, I remember Neoxian was a person , who gives people in need the money and they need to give that money to him in a specific period of time. I love the poetry, the last line is a killer.
😎😊🤙 wow, just great! luv the pic!
and yea, leo is such a cool lil community! :P
Oh wao its looks so beautiful and pretty. I really like it. Currently there are many dapps working on hive but Leofinance is the most famous one. Through this we can also know whats going on other countries.
This is beautiful! Your poem paints a picture of a moment of reflection where memories of love are both cherished and haunting. The contrast between the beauty in the past and the despair in the present is poignant, and the choice to fade to black is a symbol of seeking solace in the darkness.
Your writing is evocative and emotionally resonant. Nicely done! !LUV 🙂
