Highest Achievement - #7 in poetry [Oct 3, 2016]
~Nostalgia~
It's delicate, but potent.
The pain from an old wound.
A twinge in your heart..
Far more powerful than memory alone
A feeling of a place
Where we...
Ache
To
Go
Again.
-My thoughts. My word...

It's such a silent neighbourhood I'd give you something if I could
But I'm so terrified to sneak out 'Cause I hear this echoing shout
That breaks my steps everytime For I'm frail and love is sublime
It tells me not to cross a red line Drawn on the road, dark 'n' fine
For it's meant to keep me secure Hidden from the love 'n' its lure
But I so crave to cross it one day Oh how long it'll keep me at bay
Listen, I will cross it to meet you Oh will you drink away my blue
For this silence stole my colours Also, this town has no summers
Hey do you have summers there For I'd too love to have my share
Of warmth 'n' ice cones 'n' parks To see the skies an' soaring larks
Dear, after we'd have finally met Then I'll lowly whisper my secret
I'm not crossing this line for you I am sorry but I'll say words true
I daily see a spark across the line I get so delighted by its soft shine
An' its starry memory ever lurks So I'll cross the line for the... . . . Fireworks!
Author's Note
This is such a strange poem. I don't understand it myself. It has so many interpretations but I guess, it's about a girl who lives in a dark neighbourhood and yearns to cross this red line that stands between her and a town full of life where she can see the joys and fun. And even though she has been told that the red line secures her from the poison of love, she wants to cross it. We feel as if she wants to cross it for the love of a boy but at the end, her innocence is revealed when we see that all she wanted was to see the fireworks across the line. Dark neighbourhood is a symbol of isolation while the fireworks are a symbol of hope. Sometimes, it is more important to have hope in life than love and I leave this statement for my readers to figure out. ;)♥♡
