Civility

Explanation: This is just a play on the fact that alcohol is a social lubricant and it makes you tolerate people more easily. Perhaps saying you could fall in love is a bit of a stretch, but its poetry, what else are you meant to do? I like the flow and the fact that it builds to the final line with the realisation that the world is different when sober and some of the people you tolerate when…

Behind her eyes

Explantation: This is one of my favourite poems at the moment, as I like the narrative and the way that it flows. I guess that it follows a tour given to the voice inside someone’s mind. Like with some of my other work we are presented with this person as a she and nothing more, her identity is anonymous. We follow as the inner workings of her brain are explained to the voice and how she deals…

Memory Lane

Explanation: Being honest, I have no idea where this came from. I guess I have been romanticising the idea of having a person, who you can talk to all night. I used to spend hours on the phone, late at night, talking about life, just setting things straight, I guess. This could be the real life replica of said calls. The conversation about needing to leave and then staying up until sunrise feels…

You and I

Explanation: This is another poem that seems strange for me to write. I normally write about deeper issues, like death, pain and sadness, but this poem is relatively calm; may I go as far to say pretty? There was no theme that I wanted to explore through this poem, except that of the feelings of the present.  I guess that this was one of the few times in my life when I was focusing on the…

Moment of calm

Explanation:  This feels reminiscent of the summer months spent lounging in parks with basically no commitments and nowhere else to be. I love the sense of freedom that a lack of commitments or requirements presents; you can just exist with no obligation to do anything, and I love that feeling. For some reason this feeling always reminds me of a late summer afternoon, an hour or so before a…

On Earth we're Briefly Gorgeous- Ocean Vuong

Found this random quote on the internet a few days ago and felt quite interesting about it. Ocean Vuong, the Vietnamese- American novelist and poet’s vivid imagery and emotive language transforms to make a better understanding of his text. The above lines elicit the more intellectual approach to take the inner drive, the inner traumatic forces of memory of his mother and grandmother as well as his own struggle with his sexual identity and bring it all to words. Language is unlocked and born again. His struggles are universal and personal, brutal and beautiful. The main gesture of the novel is a brief true bloom of life and happiness in the early youth, someplace beyond the borders of traditional society, not to deceive, grow-up, establish living. One thing is that there are many pent-up emotions that are released relatively little in these lines. In the shattered past of his mother he tries to make sense of his identity. His maturely-scheduled diction underlying silent monologues of the protagonist makes you articulate words beforehand. These lines in it say “I won’t be afraid if I am already here. Already more than skin can hold” which reminds the threads that address the queerness, class, racism and trauma heritage.
