Paper Airplanes

Does the distance plot against us... does it even care?

Dare my mouth speak
To this immutable distance
And ask, is it as lonely as we
Or is it aloof and juvenile,
sending our lovesick desires
On the backs of paper airplanes
Into the ether of wishful thinking

Thank you for reading.

Littered with gorgeous curves of immutable design, my juvenile heart sang as my dreams borne upon paper airplanes burned...
I think distance has planned some nefarious ventures against me, that or coincidence coincides with my decision to blame the ether...
Well written...

You leave such an impression on me, every time I read you. How apropos this is to falling in love. The paper airplanes really gave emphasis, Travis. Thank you for the magic you do!

Thoughts need projections and applications. They can be simple or complicated, near or far. They are projected after the intent and action.
This is inspiring. Very powerful poem.

I love how you have used paper airplanes here. Sometimes that is all we can do. The ether of wishful thinking. Great piece of brevity.

Such thoughtful words briefly shared. Close eyes and watch those paper airplanes - magic! Instead of seeing a rainbow.. there goes the planes! Thoughts are like that, off and away.. sometimes never seen again sometimes staying close in sweet reveries. Sharing a touch of magic.

Thank you for the wonderful review. Sometimes, we 2nd guess if such a short piece can be affecting... you've given me a firm answer. Thank you.
