The Mundane Artist

Breath Visible in the cold evening Next to me. We look in front Without distraction Deep in thought Yet Aware of each other’s presence; Two strangers. Crickets chirping; People walking In their coats and mufflers and gloves. In the oddest way, In the 21 st century, Their silence Met And They fell in love With each other’s silence In the 21 st century. Smiles crept up on our faces, As we left Nameless.

"The Love of Two Stars Two stars fell in love. Between them came sky And ten moons and two suns riding high,   Before them the nebulous star-crusted Way,  The silence of Night, the silver of Day.    A million years passed, the lovers still glowed   With the brilliance and fire and passion of old,   But one star grew restless and set off at night    With a wonderful shower of hot white light.    He sped to his love, with his hopes and his fears,   But missed her, alas, by a thousand light-years. " -Ruskin   Bond's Book of Verse .      

"It's impossible to resist the kindness of strangers. Someone who looks at you, who doesn't know you, who tells you it's OK, whatever you did, whatever you've done; you suffered, you hurt, you deserve forgiveness." -Rachel, The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. 

Today I'll tell you a story; A story never told.  It's about a beautiful girl, Who wrote. Her eyes, An abyss. Her fingers' touch, A healing.  Her thoughts, Speak to me. Her lips, Move obscurely. I remember the way she looked  When she made me memorable.  I remember the way she looked  When she broke me; It broke her too. Oh my heart's desire!  I love her!  She's so close, yet so far.  You see dear reader, She made me. Quite literally. She wrote me. Quite literally. She gave me life. Quite literally . And I Reach out to her.  Will you help me,  Help me out of this book  That she writes me in?  Help me out of the world  She made for me?  Please do! Before she  takes my life.
