The most Beautiful...Melancholy

By Spiritus_Frumenti

[ I am the recipient of nothing, gathering misfortunes,
Walking through atmospheres of love and decay ]
-
-
The whispers of silence,
Call to reconcile my mind with torn visions of actuality
Known only through monotone escapes within airs
of approaching sunlight
Yet assuming a distant countenance,
So lost to my will and perceptions
-
In skies of black,
I pray for the salvation of the stars,
For the arrival of a greater God
-
So much about being alive feels like eternity,
Stagnant,
Where everything seems to be resting without me
Thinking of existence in different ways
If perhaps I am alive because the Sun saw me, instead
-
In these longings of magnificent measures,
All of life seems irrelevant
When all I want to do is stare into the dark
When all I want to do is die right here....

    "Where everything seems to be resting without me" - i love this line especially. Somehow, it seems to encapsulate a lot of the feelings I get from this write. And the title couldn't more accurately express this piece. :) Lovely.

    the ending kind of grabbed me... this one wasn't over yet... very well put, solid, yet moving at the same time.
