Nothing Else Counts
Oct 9th, 2009 | By April | Category: Poetry | 235 viewsThe streets are embraced by this threatening night,
She’s sunk in his warm, not yet sober embrace.
They promised each other that things would go right,
Yet all their hopes stand for counting days.
The morning will frown – one desperate kiss,
The sign of unfortunate parting for two,
Will cease their dwelling in ignorant bliss,
Or blissful forgetting, whatever is true.
The well-known words in a new undertone
Of whispering voices are fading away.
The morning will frown, and she will be gone;
He’ll vanish in sleep till around midday.
They’ll meet when the streets are embraced by the dark.
With no place to go, to never be found,
With lives half-forgotten, with nothing to mark.
But they have each other, and nothing else counts.

About April: If I am to describe my life story in several words, I usually give a quote of my own: "I'm a statue that just seems broken, I'm the truth that's still unspoken, I'm an arrow of love... What's love? - You've never known... I'm your fear, so deeply hidden, I'm the myth you don't believe in, And you never will - you cannot understand a word." This quote describes me as a mystery that is still to be discovered. And, I guess, this mysterious side of me is revealed mostly in my works, written with the purpose to tell people more about me and my life experience, to share and spread my ideas and thoughts, to help people with my creativity somehow, showing them that they are not alone. I've been writing for almost five years now. But it took me five years to become not only a poet, but a songwriter, mostly a lyricist. And I want my future to be connected with this all somehow, as there is nothing better than to do what you truly love to do.
