Ignorance is bliss and starry night, my heart caught

[Astromaxis]

Ignorance is bliss

pretending not to know, or not knowing at all
is a bliss — wretched, jabbering, jostling bliss

— don't wanna hear you!
I'll pretend you don't exist!
for that is much of bliss!

but when I carry you in my heart
scheduled, unscheduled, heart to heart, depart

or hear from some faraway your weeping, your worries

I'll learn to pretend that you don't exist

because ignorance, is considered, a sort of bliss.▬

Starry Night, my heart caught

we are both adversely prepared
catatonic tension
on the open air
marching upright
in frigid anonymity

you say
I say
a pleasant fecundity
but I sweat
you sweat
and we are in silence
in intervals
in hearts
thus organic pleasantries
mute and mouth
in absence of this and that

soon, the food is served
so is the tongue
you share
I share
in warmth and merriment

soon you kiss
my cheek
and I yours

in less than pleasantries
kind of way

your cheek
my cheek
our hearts

melt and mould like candle states

I give you a number
you give me one too

a theatre of exchanges
under stars and moon's delight. ▬

catatonic tension
A very interesting take on this so common catatonia; mental catatonia.
It is not the traditional one that affects also de body, but it is there in the mind. "Let's not talk about it. Let's pretend ignorance, bliss.
Very common, whether you are on one side or the other of an issue.
A branch of hypocrisy?

[Astromaxis]

Again, two different poems. One is about social inequalities other is on nervousness and attractions. I don't understand where the hypocrisy comes from, what do you mean exactly?

The hypocrisy comes from being aware of the choice.

Thanks for clarifying that for me
