Top of the World
You don't know it, but
Sometimes, I go to a hill that overlooks the landscape's mask of city lights
For a sip of momentary grace.
On this brink of everything I know, I can gain
An eyeful of the lost Atlantis in the human soul,
And a breath that fills my lungs with the air between two stars.
If right now, you
Were to capture this elation In the framework of your mind,
Or find transcendance through these words,
Then at most you would know
Nothing
Of the beauty your existence throws to me.
For mine is a love no experience,
No thought, no measure, no words
Could ever degrade into reality by virtue of degree."
This video clip from Boy Meets World was really entertaining because the poem was very meaningful to me. The character who wrote the poem, Sean Hunter, cared deeply for Angela except he couldn't tell her how he felt because he couldn't tell her through a casual conversation. I personally enjoy to write poems and this was what inspired me to write because it taught me you can have much more meaning when you write with style. Sometimes when you say something in an extraordinary matter than words can speak louder than actions. When I viewed this poem it was interesting to imagine what the author was trying to say such as the line, "An eyeful of the lost Atlantis in the human soul, And a breath that fills my lungs with the air between two stars." I'm just found dumbfounded analyzing these words. When you speak in metaphors it makes what you're saying much more interesting.
