#languages poem

[linguisticallywriting]

“there’s just something so beautiful about understanding a foreign language with ease.”

[linguisticallywriting]

“i fall in love with languages,

sometimes even with those i can’t understand.”

[linguisticallywriting]

“in reality,

some concepts are just better expressed in another language,

yet others shall remain the same,

i mean,

there are things that can never be interpreted no matter how hard you try to.

with absolute certainty;

they will lose their meaning,

they will lose their ingenuity.

correspondingly,

they will always find their way back to where they belong,

it’s just...je ne sais quoi.”

— je ne sais quoi //

“she hated to be referred as ‘baby girl’

so he had to change it into something different,

something more,

something meaningful,

something realistic;

‘mon amour’.

[linguisticallywriting]

“...and when our eyes lock into each other’s,

i find it illogical to express my feelings in any languages that i’ve known — not even my mother tongue can help.”

— you leave me speechless

[linguisticallywriting]

“…and there goes my playlist;

a manifestation of cultures,

it switches from languages across the globe,

the rhythms are exotic,

the lyrics are unfamiliar to my friends and sometimes my family —but it’s my playlist,

i take delight in it no matter how diverse it gets;

it reminds me of heaven.”

[linguisticallywriting]

“oh please,

i care not about what others may say!

if i have to travel to every corner of the earth or learn every spoken language of it just to find true love,

i sure will.”

— dedicated

[linguisticallywriting]

“i have to admit,

when i see someone speaking/signing a language that i don’t speak or sign,

i get a little desirous,

like,

i just want to be able to experience whatever you’re experiencing while achieving so,

all those little inside jokes that are unable to be translated,

you know,

it feels like i am missing out;

i am missing out of something beautiful,

something significant,

something worthwhile,

and something heavenly.

but at the same time i am experiencing an euphoric state — i just can’t explain it.”

— missing out
