Blissful Ignorance

That which lies beyond what we choose to see, might just be beautiful...

Blissful Ignorance
A heart–no matter how fragile–breaks nought but once...
Avoid intimacy, run far and hard from love.Laugh sheltered, never feel, never want, never long, it's too dangerous.Dare the heart might beat,dare emotions might overwhelm; the sheer depth of its endless possibilities,dare that you might drown in the sensation.If you fall in love now,love just might kill you.Spare yourself everything by having nothing, by being nothing.Nothing.To be dead is better than the risk of dying itself.Oh how blind we are.

Blissful Ignorance / Kintsugi

Alternative name for poem–Kintsugi.

(金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer, dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique.
