When Someone Says To You, "Don't Go."

in poetry •  7 years ago 

A friend, @candydub, and I made this video based on one of my poems. It's called "Don't Go" and the full poem will be published in the upcoming poetry coloring book I am creating with fellow body artist Claudia Sahuquillo.

I really hope we keep making more of these videos, because I loved making this one, and I love sharing poetry in a multimedia way, and this one turned out so, so beautifully. Really, thank you so much to @candydub for doing all of the filming and postproduction. I have known him for a couple of years now, and his technical work and creativity have grown tons from his hard work during this time <3 LOVEEEEE.

Just a little poem background. I wrote it about my feelings for @kidpistola in the early stages of our relationship, long before we were official, but I was already super in love with him. One time we were on the phone, and he said, don't go, and I realized in that moment that might be my favorite thing to hear from someone I love. They love you so much they just want you to stay, so they have to say it outloud. From that moment and the feelings I had within it, this poem was born.

So, enjoy this poetry transmedia production of "Don't Go" It's for you. And you. And you.

moon my favorite flashlight!

love the editing effects of the clip - how did you edit btw? and what effects did you add?! Its really good

@candydub is the only one who can answer those questions. He did all the postproduction <3

"Don't go" is also on my list of most precious phrases. Or some variant of it like, "I didn't want to leave". There is really nothing more heartwarming in love than the concept of "stay".

exactlyyyy :)

Fantastic. I love it.
