A short poem (if it can be called that) just describing a scene that fills me with glee, and warm feelings.
Setting: Orchard/Garden in South Italy in the spring time.
Picture yourself perched on a plush dais, elbow leaned against the sill of an opened window, looking out over a luscious garden that leads into a deep forest.
Your silk dress shirt billows in the wind and your hair blows softly about your face. You tuck it behind your ear. You can't help but to smile, contempt and peacefully as the afternoon sun warms the manicured yard. The glint of bright, blushing red nectarines and peaches catches your eyes, tempting you to take bite.
All this, for you to enjoy. And more.
She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers.
I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism.
I really hope none of you relate with any of these :)
I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can.
The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day.
