Reasons I love you
Of many reasons I love you here is one
the way you write me from the gate at the airport
so I can tell you everything will be alright
so you can tell me there is a bird
trapped in the terminal all the people
ignoring it because they do not know
what to do with it except to leave it alone
until it scares itself to death
it makes you terribly terribly sad
You wish you could take the bird outside
and set it free or (failing that)
call a bird-understander
to come help the bird
All you can do is notice the bird
and feel for the bird and write
to tell me how language feels
impossibly useless
but you are wrong
You are a bird-understander
better than I could ever be
who make so many noises
and call them song
These are your own words
your way of noticing
and saying plainly
of not turning away
from hurt
you have offered them
to me I am only
giving them back
if only I could show you
how very useless
they are not

Doar cine a trăit atunci simte emoția pe care o transmiți prin rândurile tale, cei care am avut aceleași pasiuni când eram copii. A fost o plăcută înt...

Dureros de frumoasă. Ai pus în cuvinte o stare pe care mulți o simt, dar puțini știu să o descrie așa. Felicitări din suflet!

Piele de găină de la prima până la ultima strofă. O poezie copleșitor de sinceră, cu o forță și o demnitate rar întâlnite. Foarte frumos scris!
Dincolo de tăcerea ta..

Frumoasă poezie🙌 Mo luat lacrimile🥹 (BTW Andreas Amaftioe n-are nicio legătură cu poezia)
