Hey all!
Well I've been hiding a couple of poems away on my profile, but someone finally discovered them and insisted I start a thread, so here you go Linds, i made
a thread!... i'll add more poems at a later date, i promise!
Okay, so everyone comments are encouraged!!! Also if anyone else would like to post their own work, that's
cool! In fact I'd love to see other people's work as well as hear people's comments on mine.
also, here's my twitter account, in case you want more uptodate updates on when i post poetry here or on my blog: http://twitter.com/learnin2breathe
Okay, enough talking... Here is my title poem, hope you like it *crosses her fingers*:
Learning To Breathe
Eyes unfold like tulips, stretching to
Embrace the mid-March sun.
You'd have hated it anyway,
Seeing splinters in the light, your fingers
Grasping at the frayed edges of the globe,
Trying to pull me closer as I climb
'Board another plane, another train, my tongue
Dancing to a foreign rhythm; ogni respiro
Viene trovato più facilmente quando i passi diventano
Naturali*. But you'd have hated it anyway,
Crashing symbols to drown out the nylon guitar
Guiding me through this maze of canals and
Frescoed walls. Across the water city lights
Harmonize to each velvet strum; riflessi
guidano la via verso l'alba**, while you
Face West, still mourning yesterday's stars.

Translations:
* each breath/ I finn more easily as the steps become/Natural
**Reflections/ Leading the way into sunrise

I especially love the second one; personally, I think "Ashes of Dreams You Let Die" is a very nice title but
perhaps it's a bit lengthy? I don't know, of course it's totally up to you. Maybe something simpler like Ashes of Dreams (for example) might work?
But yeah, these are all great.
