About poems and such

"When you become enlightened
you will know that you've
always been enlightened all along"

Jack Kerouac

I wonder what enlightenment means and how it happens.
I wish I could see
the truth
in the world of liars and thieves.
I don't know if I could survive the bliss
of light
in the darkness.
Is there life in death?
Joy in pain?
Happiness in despair?

Do I really

I like it!

Thank you. I read this quote from JK and felt oddly inspired, so I decided to write something of my own.

Feedback always makes my day...

that's wonderful, I guess...
I'm not english and maybe I'm not great about poems wich are not in italian but believe me: i like it...you see, I red it with speaking voice and...I like how it sounds...my favourite line is:
I don't know if I could survive the blissof lightin the darkness.
if I'll use it in some of my graphic art, I'll credit you, savy?
kisses

Thank you so much! Don't worry, English is not my first language either (I'm from Poland, by the way). Of course you can use it! Send me a link to your art so I can see what you come up with. I'm deeply flattered you liked it.

[holly_italia]

I will..be sure about it!!!
I just wanted to say. "I'm deeply flattered son, but my first and only love is the sea" wasn't soemthing about I'm sorry? are you sorry? by the way, nice to meet you dear! I know some poland word (don't laught)
oh, sorry about the spelling, I write it as I say it in italia
-voda (water)
-gencuia (thanks)
-shostra (sister)

I knew much more, but I can't remember...yes I knew an another one wich was not elegant :) curva :) sorry :) kisses

Your spelling is so funny! Sorry, but I just had to say it. But well, no sane person would be able to read it if it was written in my language (like "thanks" is "dziękuję")

Well, there are many curses in Polish, and kurwa is only one of them, it's actually pretty mild one (people use it quite often, it's something like "fuck" in English, but it means "prostitute")

[holly_italia]

well, let me be honest. I can't even read the way you pronounce thanks...believe me, too much consonants...yes I know what does it means and how often do you say it (I remember it!!!!)...yes...good...what an amazing tpic :)
