Abstract

i slept in a paint palette
and woke up plastered
to an enormous canvas
facing the night skyline
and all the skyscrapers
lit in brilliant city lights

i kept looking at all of it
a lucid, wide panorama
a bridge over the water
the lucent flow of which
captured the moonlight
in a li'l bottle of heights

i kept wonderin' about it
the audience who wants
all them endings to look
a tad over-dramatic, no?
and how they want ends
to leave them in awe of it

but what is wrong with
a paintin' that's abstract
a poem, not so dramatic
a night that is dissolved
in an uneventful silence
'n' nothin' special at all?

Author's Note

Listening to 'We Think Too Much' by Lil Peep. ❤

I've kinda broken from the neon phase for all of you and written this simple poem. I always try to end my poems with something that captures the readers for a moment and it's not just me. Every writer out there tries their best to keep the ending eventful, something that leaves an imprint on the hearts of their readers. I started writing this poem because I was in a peaceful mood and the calmness of the moment felt divine to me. However, by the end of second stanza, I had no idea how I was going to end it because there was nothing dramatic about the serenity I felt then. So I realized, endings don't have to be eventful always. It's fine to have an ending that has nothing special in it. It's okay to dissolve in the abstract and live in there. :')❤

Much Love,
