( PLEASE READ FIRST: This is one of my first poems ever, I had someone studying poetry to look over it - however I would like some more insight, MAYBE into what type of poetry I am into, because I am unsure! Nice to meet you guys! I GOTTA WARN YOU ITS LONG )  Blush

nostalgia is reluctant, it’s inevitable
the waking sunlight peeking through the curtains
I can hear the faint laughter of my younger sister, innocence that liberates the worries of reality - soft pink tones of girlhood
baby blue buttoned skies as she plays in the playground, only five


I lie, grounded in the thoughts of my existence
a hot yellow flame hits the ring of my iris,
and what surrounds me are the paint strokes of emerald green, amongst are flowers - purple ones
sunlight burning the subtle tone of my skin
I let it burn the script of my memories onto my body
Do I run?

go! , go!
seek the shelter you so wish for,
hide from the orbit of time
choose to face forever, no mellowing
age can do nothing but bear you pain, right?
if you wish, hold onto what is left of your falsified, broken “happiness”.

Hang onto the teared rope of the past
As crimson blossoms from the palms of your hands.


Threads of emotion and art become twisted
The words of authors, poets, songwriters, artists.. cloud the purity of my actions.
I sink, slowly into the grass.. consuming me in its leaves.

be gone, the greyscale colours of emptiness!
Can you dig out what heart I have left shovelled in my soul?
Plant it,
to replace what was once a plum tree?
What was once before, bearing the fruits of my memories

I can only grasp onto its fruit for so long, time is but a mere rot
Yet here I am,
on the grass turned forest green I lie,
My sister fifteen, runs along the grey concrete - shed of her innocence
I can’t feel that waking beam of light hugging my essence,
I must accept that it can’t run back to me.

Nostalgia is merely setting me back
But I can’t be rid of it
