red viaduct

empty vial

i stand here, on my feet,

looking down into the ethereal body of water

 

it's calling me,

my vocation 

 

the orbs above me,

they cry out to me, too

urging me to take the step,

walking out the door that's been closed 

 

with my hand

i reach out 

and the forgiving breeze holds on,

not letting go,

and drawing me in

 

i've endured long enough

and now's my time 

 

i lock my eyes,

and let myself go

  • L. B. Mek

    there are tons of red bridges
    in our world
    crimson painted, as if prophetic
    warning
    of the allure, in those accessible
    escape points
    to lives, overburdened by chaos
    and incessant, strife
    but
    for every one, individual
    defeat, overwhelms
    thousands upon, thousands
    hear those same exact
    whispering 'orbs'
    only, they've cultivated an
    appreciation and worth
    for themselves
    that filters, the bulls shit
    in those venomous, thought 'orbs'
    and so, recognise
    how fleeting those words are..
    (there was a study done
    on those that survived their suicide attempts
    and almost all of them, stated
    within second of taking the plunge
    they immediately realised
    in the scope of the existence, they'd
    just given - up, on
    they were alarmed
    at how insignificant, their issues/problems
    seemed)
    I am not, in any way
    trying to belittle your suffering
    or the depicted suffering
    in your poetry's, voice
    I
    am merely trying to provide
    a long lensed, wide scoped
    perspective
    on the moment, your poetry portrays
    that we all, need
    to survive
    so we may, be offered an opportunity
    at a better, day
    dawning, in our next experience
    of aurora's, greeting..
    I wish you all the best
    if these words are taken from a personal
    point of view or experience
    then I laud, your bravery and fight!
    and if they are words
    empathetically depicting, the horror
    realities
    some of us are dealing with, everyday
    then I laud, your compassionate humanity!
    'I wish you Peace, dear Poet
    stay strong!'
    thank you, for choosing to share
