Read MoreMy eyes open, to the imagined. My eyes closed, to the real. My ears open, to hallucinations. My ears closed, to your voice. My mouth open, to ramblings. My mouth closed, to anything sensical. My hand open, once to yours. My hand closed, now to yours.

Das ist ein sehr schönes Gedicht, Daniel! Ich kann mich absolut damit identifizieren.
The use of opposites is the perfect stylistic device to underline the fact that in our dreams and illusions we are most alive! Brilliant!

I can feel the anger in this piece. You cannot escape the hell you create.

The funny thing is that the inspiration for this poem came from when the mailman didn’t put my package on my covered front porch and left it in the rain, after I talked to the motherfucker about it several times.

That must be the secret because some people seem to enjoy it a little too much sometimes. But in all seriousness, there are definitely days where it feels like you might as well just embrace it because that’s all there is left to do. Kind of reminds me of some song lyrics from a song I like, “So I made friends with all my demons/ Let ’em sink their teeth in/ Got used to the feeling of letting it go” and a mix of “you either laugh about it or you’ll cry”.

Thanks for the comment and the time it took to write it.
I find sitting still quite pleasant these days.No noise except for the sound of the universe.

How painfully correct you are.. and yet
while painful I still found the ability to smile during the read. Humans are indeed idiots.Clay

It always seemed weird to me that in a world full of people most of us feel lonely. Great ink.
