Description and she told me that seabirds wither in the winter;

maybe that's why i find myself
self-decaying at night,
windows wide open in this vermillion november
because i always end up
flying away,
anyway.

(i don't think the seabirds are the only ones, i replied, but she was too busy soaking up my sadness to care.)

I don't know what to say about this... It's just too beautiful. This poem, your words, you are absolutely beautiful. As much as I love the melancholy in your poems, the way they all sound quiet and soft as if they're melodies played in minor, I look forward to the day you start writing happy things. You deserve to

oh my goodness---this is so lovely.

honestly, this means so much to me. 
my poetry is just a way to talk without
having to really talk, and the fact that
people actually like it makes me smile,
even if the content isn't always happy.

thank you so much for this!

but. i really do appreciate that sentiment c: thank you!

You're very welcome! I'm glad I could make you smile.
I think your poetry is as touching as it is because you don't do it "professionally" or for watchers or anything, it just comes from the heart. I like that. What you write is often so personal, it makes me feel like I know you. And that's why I care about you, my dear <3
Just keep on smiling! ^.^

Beautiful imagery I see with the withering away in winter out of the wide open windows, and the "vermillion"
...I loved especially how it picked up mid-sentence "and she told me..." because we know there is more to the story and we are left to imagine it. And it just sounds lyrical!

Love it!!

Vermillion is a color that reminds me of fall, which is sort of november, hence the use--
but i really do love the word, regardless! It just has character.

Ah, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Your comments are always, always my favorite--they're so kind and thoughtful, and always make me smile.

Thank you babe<3

Yes! Love that way of looking at it!

Aw, shucks. I'm flattered. Why thank me?
It's a pleasure...you so deserve kind words of praise for your writing, and for just you being you.

Knowing I make you smile makes me smile!
<3 (You're welcome)
