Was born with eyes wide open
To be prepared for the truth
Not wanting to offend
What had happened on the roofHolding pasts in a box
We crawl, we stand, then walk
Rusty keys enter locks
Speaking words before caughtStreams of tears without sound
Lover’s end, rings withdrawn
heartbeat forever unbound

Such lava!
The artwork is incredible! The write of course is so your style of unique phrasing. Clever wording to go with the picture, well, vice versa. Your talent is showing!-

Damien, amigo! Thank you!
This was an extra special write because it was such a sad historical event.
The remnants are still here for everyone to view. Not sure how I feel about that.
Having other peoples pain on display. Just feels like such an intrusion.But you know what is pretty cool to display, your rocking avatar’s hair!! Hahaha
Had to lighten up this comment, I meant no offense:)-

I’ve seen the frozen bodies of Pompeii. he families that died together in their homes. I’m sure they would have been happy to have wings to fly away on. Great poem of butterflies and great art work, Adel. 🙂

Hey Tim!
Hey, I’m Adelly to you mister! Where did she go? Hahah
With all the suffering that happened I wanted to make this poem bittersweet.
And I kept having these visions of moths flying around. Some are huge, as big as your hand!
Off my mind went and this is what I came up with. After I finished drawing my first moth, I felt like a proud mama! lol
I’m glad you enjoyed!Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Nev,
Thank you for that. Means a lot amigo. I can’t even imagine how it must have felt like, being there in person.
The fact that their remains are still in tact and have not broken down is astounding to me.Thank you for stopping by!

This is pure art in motion. I could just lose myself in the beauty of your poem. I was mesmerized by the impressionist wonder within your poem. A real gem to read tonight.

The root cause of all suffering is thinking.That’s where the answer lies.
I coped by reading as much as I could about depression, grief,the way our minds work and trick is.The best material,without sounding religious,was in Buddhism.
Happy to share some authors with you if you’re interested.
