L. V., I Found This Poem In The Background Of Your Favourite Painting

Because
it’s the only way
I know how to get
closer to you. Because
it takes me by the hand
and we take a stroll from
out of my mind. Because I
fear forgetting because the
people I love are dropping
dead like summer flies or
something poetic like
that, and I am a moth;
the flame leads me
back home. Dear
poet, why do
you write?

- L. V.

Hello LV, I can't find the words to thank you for the prose piece you wrote about my story. All I can say is I love it truly. I'll hold on to that piece of writing for the rest of my life like your other followers. I think I will be coming back to it when life isn't treating me well. Keep on writing..

And I hope I remember these kind words when life isn't treating me well. Thank you, dear stranger.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Detail of "Children on a Dune"
by: Ferdinand du Puigaudeau (c. 1890)

Doing bad things doesn’t necessarily make us bad people, right?

to start showing up in the children’s nightmares?

L. V., i found this poem flying too close to the sun

Gamrat i Stańczyk (Gamrat and Stanczyk) - detail
Jan Matejko
1873 - 1878

We met
under an April sky
and the constellations blinked
a siren’s song, warning me in morse code.
It’s a shame I only understood English then,
my mother’s tongue, and my father’s, because it’s
a couple of years later, I beat myself up for
turning my back on what’s written in the
stars just so I could face you and catch
all the lies that spilled from your
strawberry mouth
to mine.

- L. V.

L. V., i found this poem in the back seat of your car

Detail of "Дівчинка І Лікар" ("Girl And Doctor")
Oleg Holosiy, 1992

bad things are always blamed on the innocent

in this part of town so the kids grow up wanting to be a thief

or a lawyer, or maybe, a doctor who has an urge to kill

L. V., i found this poem on my third cup of coffee
