L. V., I Found This Poem The Day After You Left

You talked about your old poem titled Literary Vein. Can you direct me to the post? I can't find it anywhere on your page. Thank you!!

I don't think I've posted it before. Maybe snippets of it. But here it is:

Literary Vein

I reread my favourite book today. The plot was the same. The characters, unchanged.

They’re the same age, wearing the same clothes I’d left them in years ago.

The words were unaltered; the pages still smell like Sundays alone at home.

The only thing that changed was the emotions. When I reached the climax,

I did not feel the same rushing excitement I once felt, finding out who the murderer was.

On the contrary you still make me feel

like I could tell you anything even after all these years.

Perhaps in that sense, one could say you are my favourite book.

L. V., i found this poem swimming in my glass of wine on our first date

L. V., i found this poem scribbled on an old receipt

Have you written any response poems to your older poems from years ago?

L. V., i found this poem in the cracks on my ceiling

im incredibly in love with your words and your poems, and this is out of pure curiosity, but i wish to ask what's the inspiration behind your username.

I just skimmed through your blog, and I can say the same with your poetry.

"Literary Vein" is the title of an old poem I wrote.

Writing, to me, feels like opening up my literary vein and letting certain thoughts and emotions come flooding out before they get the chance to drown me. I thought that was fitting as a username.

P.S. Once I have my cup of tea, I'll be going over your lovely writings more properly, @tansdiary.
