#34{POETRY}
Her heart was Pinocchio
Have you heard the whale theory— let me guide me through a fable of love and hope
Free access🫧
Her heart was Pinocchio
made by those hands of his
With the
blood and flesh of his very own.
A little of his soul to beat with
and a dust of spell
Of his magic
To live
Because
Her heart was Pinocchio.
Beating every second
To fly away
With her little legs
Without any idea what the world is built of —
Dark and Desire
Running away
Faster and faster
When danger caught her.
But only to be
Swallowed by a whale of the sea.
Time froze.
Her heart was on the point of melting.
No lub No dup.
Only deep silence
And the moan of the whale
was heard.
Echoed every wall
of the deep blue sea.

Has the whale been aware of its own theory —
The sadness is so hard to bear.
The darkness at the bottom
takes them in their embrace,
Until light reaches them again.
Is it sadness or something else
that took the whale to the rock bottom
in the unknown world of the sea
where the creatures are as mysterious
as the universe we live in.
But the whale still had to breathe
So it breached the surface of the sea
crying moans and nothing else.
One last jump.
But its heart was still
Silent.
Gone into deep slumber.
But something poked inside the whale: the heart of Pinocchio
which it had engulfed in despair.
The whale’s heart and the girl bearing Pinocchio’s heart
intertwined,
becoming one.
Sharing their memories of the past —
sorrow and joy,
only to realise the whale’s last wish —
Jump again with the dolphins and flying fishes around
in the blue sky.
The heart of Pinocchio
slowly faded away
to someone who might find her again.
This is inspired by the K-drama ‘EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO’
I hope one day i would witness the whales in their home with their loved ones with someone 🐳🪸🪼
