randomidnightreflections iii

swim on a sunset cloud into tomorrow
dot the stars with eyes
forget yesterday's sorrow and drown in the moment

spring gives us summer to our step
perhaps there's life out there afterall

***

the moon is blooming
as hash rocks plummet to the floor
like comets
to whatever lays beside my feet

I like this too - spring gives us summer to our step - ;-)

You seem to spend your time either up a mountain with a dragon or stuck in some nightmare railway carriage - and I guess a tube train is a bit like a dragon tho not as much as a steam train puff puff

Hi, tried to find your profile but it's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. Sorry for the cliche there. :-)

I think it's because of the drowning sensation as well as the hash rocks falling like a comet.
I saw lava in the imagery, please don't ask me to explain my imagery, it often varies from other peoples. I like the poem but it does make me feel a little strange. I tend to feel rather than think too much about the words. That is how i climb inside a poem. :-)

How odd, i got a plummetting feeling reading this poem. Was that intentional?
