Do you?

do you think I’ll keep my mouth shut when you let me no possibilities to express my nasty personality?
when I look beyond my shoulder I see only darkness and bleeding wounds on the dried hearts, within the mummified body

do you think I’ll manage to climb the mountain that took birth in your eyes just to break down a record for high moral values?
where the tears are just turbulent rivers that cross the entire shape of your soul and are lost on the theatre’s scene

do you think I went outside my mind on the rainy day, to climb on the top of the sky just to bring you a few stars that burned my cracked palms?
– no, I had no light in my house and my ears heard that boogie man died when touching one

do you think that the nights killed by pleasures will be the same as the days when I’ll get pissed of?
I light a cigar, open the bottle of jack, take a pencil, give birth to memories and then hang them on the walls of my unconsciousness

***

then a thunder, a noise, a glamour voice punched my bunch of neurons:
“do you marry me?”

Well to answer your first

Well to answer your first four questions, No. You're a freaking poet/compassionate intellectual/pacifist who needs to open the sky and yell at the top of his lungs. But the last question has me perplexed...merry... I wonder if you meant *marry*? If so I know that answer. Peace Now. Love Always. ~A "A few are guilty but we are al responsible."

danke!

Kailashana, thank you for your kind comment and for your beautiful words. Also, thank for the tip: it was a typo and is "marry", sorry - now it's fixed. Best wishes, Marius

I especially liked: "take a pencil, give birth to memories and then hang them on the walls of my unconsciousness." Nicely written! "There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you." Will Rogers

This is incredible writing here. Earthshattering. It seems your choice of writing out do you marry me instead of will you marry me is on purpose? If thats the case I think it added a lot of effect.

Wow

Burning cracked hands on stars which were grabbed.... fascinating imagery. I would think that if you were able to wrangle one down, much more than the boogeyman would be frightened off - indeed all the spooks, ghoulies, and things that go bump in the night would flee. Nice work here, friend. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"If your mother still drives you to school, you ain't no 'gangsta', pull your damn pants up!" - Bill Engvall
