i keep a flower
in a bottle of aspirin
recall the beauty
cure the pain
i hide my heart
under a plate of armor
the less i feel
the less i break
exhale the past
breathe in
tomorrow
i fill my lungs
i
can't
let
go
i wait for dark
to battle with the demons
i know their strength
i know their names
i gave my word
to keep the bad things
from you
have faith in me
a
brave
broken
soul
i gave my word
to keep a light around you
have faith in me
i'll carry you home

I must admit that I am absolutely smitten with all things Kdrama!
Especially the time traveling drama 신의 ( Faith) and Answer Me 1997
I stumbled across them this summer on Hulu and have been hooked ever since.
I find the Korean language beautiful and the actors stunningly attractive.
Though the stories may seem a bit cliched to some ( I can't get enough of that love triumphing over adversity stuff) they are filmed against the most gorgeous backdrops and in the case of Answer Me 1997, entirely relatable...just watch the first episode.
This poem was inspired by a tender scene in the drama 신의 ( Faith)
a beautiful verse....love it...the first two stanzas in particular...they have an enchanting cadence to them...will have to check out this film
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Brian. My cadence is enchanting! I'm walking on air! :)
Deletethe first two stanzas are brilliant.
DeleteI love "i wait for dark to battle the demons i know their strength i know their names"....it's how I write about my mental illness.
I loved this one

Thank you,lance. Yes. Night time is the hour of the warrior.
DeleteNice! Very beautiful. I feel all ZEN now. :-) Stopping by from the Writer's Link Up.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I particularly like the first stanza; there's something about that image that gets to me.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, I love the way you wove your words together.
ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful. I, too, am hooked on the theme of love triumphing - even though, in my case, it is still, apparently, hobbling along some byway trying to find me. Hee hee.
ReplyDeleteReally a beautiful write--if I say the word clean--not a word out of place
ReplyDeleteIt has been a privilege to see you evolve as a poet over the last few years. This one was simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAwwww. I love you, Jotter Girl :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent - you are very talented!
ReplyDeleteHolding anybody in the light is always a good thing to do...
ReplyDeleteThis is love
ReplyDeleteYes. It is a love that can weather the storm.
DeleteThis is my first time visiting - this is beautiful! Love the 3rd stanza!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Robyn! I am glad you enjoyed Faith.
Deleteabsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank everyone for stopping by to comment on Faith. I enjoyed writing it. If you have a chance please watch the show at your leisure (The link is located near the image) It will sweep you off of your feet :)
ReplyDeletewill do....downloading right now actually....
Deletealways great to see you rene...smiles.
Always good to see you too, Brian. Prayers to you and your family.
DeleteThe emotional fluency here is what grabs me--the feelings, that is, are easy to experience through the words--and you definitely make me want to check out the film version of your characters. Having faith in the broken is important.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words here, Rene. I feel your passion for this show and will consider taking a peek at it after reading your poem.
ReplyDeleteTender and beautiful, I love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely... that first stanza especially is an image that will stay with me!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and sad at the same time, you wish the words to be true in the end and it makes you wonder how many things in life do we submit ourselves to faith on :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from write on edge
