I don’t know how some people meet once and never again
delete love like typos
it is a constant pain to love
the person who loves you back
who is somewhere in the sea.
i almost died and every time
i’m scared, i shatter inside.
certain songs make me cry
like a fucking baby, like the ones
you sent me.i never give up
but you
you never give up on me
i’m not 33, those years came and went
i have some numbness in my hand now
spent the day in the hospital
watching a loved one slowly die
and now going back for more
show the kids how death decides us
show my heart what love is inside of us.
you make it all better when they come
after me,
with lies and jealousies,
with hate and envy
you see me for more than a shade of plum
beauty that ultimately becomes ashes
and a thousand year old soul.
take me to that place
you begged me to go to
even if it does not exist.
somewhere in the photo
in the deep parts of my ocean
you float with me
and shut the door
to crucify me
against the wall
to kiss my tears
and bury your head
in the curve of my collarbone.

I loved this. Especially the line of deleting love like typos.I have always been amazed how some people can forget so easily. To me that means you never truly loved. Great poem.

The work moves into the realm “beyond good and evil” in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.

Thank you for your perspective and opinion. If my poetry delves into those realms so touched to hear it. I don’t think of any of that when I write, but at the back of my mind there is a constant micro vs macro ideology of how my fights can be compared to society’s. The constant battle of modern life, technology and circumstances and how we can abuse or learn from this knowledge.
