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...

i cling back to dark lines scribbled on the walls of the downtown alleys amidst all the spray paint colouring the blind ends in unknown patterns and anonymous names
what if it all melts down to a mere existence of you, you and you and a little part of me as the rest of me is nothin' but you, you and you doodled on my fragile skin
what if all this spray paint makes love with the walls all hidden in the shadows when darkness dawns in the arms of tonight holdin' this utter gloom and its undulant motion
what if this consummation is blessed by neon lights blinking drunkenly above the neighborhood enveloped in the low kiss of heavenly euphoria trickling down your lips
what if i get to see it all despite the sweet influence of heroin rollin' in my veins and get to watch the mess swept away by the breeze on the rooftop, to embrace this love of neon and dark
but what if this taste of drugs that's made me an addict is available in heaven and has nothing to do with the corridors of hell and what if only heaven has these neon blinking boards?
Author's Note
I've often thought about this. Is paradise the same for everyone? Like is it a garden for all? A standard place? Or will it vary according to every person's standard of happiness? I've often heard people holding views like they take drugs because heaven won't have them or they do sins because they won't have the pleasure of doing sins in heaven. But what if heaven has exactly what they want? Neon boards and drugs and all? So they do it temporarily here just to lose the chance of having it all forever? I can talk on and on, write a book about this but these are complicated and conflicting matters and I don't want to say something wrong. I just feel that we should have faith in God that He understands what we want and if it's something sinful such that we have to sacrifice it in order to enter paradise, then I'm sure God would let us have what we want no matter what it is when we enter paradise. So if my paradise is an alley adorned with neon boards and signs, it might be just like that. Who knows. =)❤
