tap-tap-tap-tap

everything dissolves like sweat on tar. the sun is on my back and you. you don't know who i am. i want you to know. you burn me and so the sun too. too bright to see anything. maybe the clouds will take your shine away. i turn around to face you, my eyes are barely open and my heart too. come back another day, mabye you will come back another day. i hope but i don't say. grimy tears and sweaty hands, i say i'm just running a fever today. it must be the damn weather you say.
you. just an insignificant detail of my life. passing and losing relevance with each day but some days go by slowly and some days don't go at all.

Oh, that last sentence is very powerful. What happens to a day that doesn't end?

Thoughts can be blinding or warming, like the sun. People can be the same way. This post reminds me of a thermostat we wish we could turn up or down, depending on the degree of -.

"the insignificant detail of my life" .... woven into your tapestry that makes you the significant person you are.One wonders then just how insignificant anything in your life could be..

So happy to see you writing here again! Your title reminds me of memories "tapping my mind" or "tap dancing on my mind."
I particularly like your opening gem "everything dissolves like sweat on tar" and "just an insignificant detail of my life..."

The day we keep living and it goes nowhere. You have us all thinking, feeling, reeling at the beauty of your words.

you burn me and so the sun too

the willingness to sacrifice is all too strong in us
and dunno if that is often a good thing or not

Mermaid- aint it so now!! i want to find that thermostat, i'm sure it exists, gotta figure out how to use it.

"passing and losing relevance with each day but some days go by slowly and some days don't go at all."

Excellent! I like the emotions you create throughout and you are deeply descriptive because I felt the mood entirely.

I like your blog and the quote at the top. One of my personal favorites too. I love poetry and quotes.

I'll be checking back often. Thanks for sharing :-)

Thank you for your comments on my blog :) I like your use of words, and the effect you create while using them. I feel a very raw emotion within your words and I can sense it entirely.

If you'll continue updating, I'll continue coming back :)
