The Cinema (A Sanctuary For Films)
A poem about a universal love: Movies
Its a place for many things.
Its a place I went as a kid, a teen, and now as an adult.
Its a place for congregation (though some might swear its a religious experience).
Its a place for those who want utter silence and peace.
Its a place for those who want to weep and feel.
Its a place for those who want to cheer, yell, and scream in excitement.
Its a place of celebration.
Its a place of mourning.
Its a place of anticipation.
Its a place of shock.
Its a place of escape.
Its a place some call home.
Its a place of stories, real or fake.
Its a place where I learned my first swear word in another language.
Its a place where I saw people enthralled by the proceedings.
Its a place where I saw people run for the doors during scary moments.
Its a place where people become critics.
Its a place where conversations start.
Its a place where debates originate from.
Its a place where applause rains.
Its a place where boos drown the area.
Its a place where history is made.
Its a place for the voiceless.
Its a place of discovery.
Its a place of hope.
Its a place where friends are made.
Its a place where enemies are made.
Its a place of love.
Its a place of coldness and warmness.
Its a place where imagination runs wild.
Its a place of disappointment.
Its a place of reconnection.
Its a place that needs no introduction.
Its a place which should be open forever.
Its a place of nostalgia.
Its a place for the present.
Its a place for the future.
Its a place where dreams and reality are shown on screen.
Its a place that I, and many others, love dearly.
