AS I AM
by ~sublime-ape

A wanderer
In the realms of the infinite,
An ascetic
In a material world
A hermit
Amidst teeming millions,
An idealist,
Unflinching and bold



A creator
Of sublime worlds am I,
A dreamer
Dwelling in wondrous lands
An infidel
To all beliefs but Love
A heretic
To those who don't understand

A stranger
To my closest kin sometimes,
An old friend
To some I've met just once
Boundless,
I live by my own inner voice
Timeless,
I live no-when but the nonce

Mature Content

Blessed
Have I been by many
By many
I have been damned
All these,
And a myriad more am I
Tell me,
Would you take me as I am?

This is my dear friend and wonderful artist Subhankar
I call him Sublime and I do this not because his nickname, I do this because of his special sensibility.
Thank you my dear Sublime  for your beautiful friendship and for your beautiful words and gifts, who always touch my heart like a beautiful poem discovered on a wall of another world, a world of beauty and serenity, a world of normality!



I will end this journal by telling you to never forget that
"In a world without melancholy, nightingales would start to spit and lilies would open a brothel."

With love and friendship,

Selina
