Parallel play

It takes a writer to see what it has become.
Not a poet with a sense of life.
A drunk would do a better job, they usually do.
Why do you never see anything?
In my world love is a pop song and passion is excruciating.
Write truly and live a lie. That’s the only way.
I feel the strange need to feel fragile. Poems are solid.
Bars of gold, trees, swords. Thought is air.
Only speak when annoyed. Only love when forced.
I too am troubled, therefore a writer.
Never the other way around.
With every book death opens itself up in my lap.
With every poem a butterfly dies.
And the leaves fall down once again.
He has never been solid. Listens, waits for his turn.
Sits beside me. A correction, red line, under every word of our story.
It is easy though. Ball it up and toss it. Start again.
Make a remix of everything forgotten.
Proze. Short stories. Old and cliché.
Some good stuff but only a few.
We are a floor full of paper.
Light it up for once and for all.
Hoarding memories.
Different stories, never intertwined.
Parallel play.
I should clean up this mess.

It is a reader/'/s joy to find themselves inside your head, listening to the kaleidoscope of thoughts you tie together with vauge familiarities.
To eavesdrop on your candid revelations, is both a privilege and a trust --for all writers share some part of you--and you do not reveal us as we would not be seen.
For that you earn our loyalty, and for embracing our struggles with such a delicate pen, our fond agreement. A very true, and kind reveal of writers themselves. You have held up a mirror, and we have looked into your heart.

Saturated and parched- together at last! You have no doubt, struck a familiar chord with every writer who has had the pleasure of reading this. I enjoyed the euphemisms and clever metaphor. Excellent closing line! Keep it up.
