Kintsugi
She sees kintsugi
as I pour myself in every direction
like rain onto grass
self-doubt holding the tap
open.
Omnipresent dark
clouds the skies
clouds thoughts
her gold earrings sparkle in the dusk.
She grabs a cup.
I am an evoker of sympathy
and the glass overfloweth in her eyes.
I could kiss her if her lips allowed
follow her into her daydreams
Read the rest of the poem Show less
to the print of the world that lingers,
behind those hazelnut eyes.
Would we crisscross with commonalities?
Blurred images.
Abstract chains of thought.
Or are we worlds apart
Are we all just worlds apart?
And kissing is just a façade for the hopeful
She sees kintsugi
I see a broken man.

About Me
About me
I'm 20, live in Aus studying arts (writing). I love poetry, and I think the cultural perception around its value as an art form is a little twisted. But nevertheless, as with all creative pursuits, it isn't for anyone else. It's for me. Fav book is Infinite Jest, favourite poet would be Bukowski.
Location: Australia, AUS
Favorite Poets
Plath (I know
slightly concerning)
E. E. Cummings
Tagore
Eliot
