Nostalgia Causes Cuts In the Soul

Nostalgia, it's a fruit that doesn't rot... Always present, always bitter... it's not thorn not even rose, but in the soul, always causes gashes... !

Try to understand everything metaphorically, not materially... fruit yes but that does not rot... Sweet nostalgia even exists, but it is very difficult, here it is really bitter... With these harmful effects nostalgia causes gashes to ge soul ethereally... of speech, poetry, real poetry only exists with figurines as metaphor , pleonasm, metonymy... Without it this is fairy tale, speech, story... I've noticed it here on this blog, salute, alkas
