I don't need a ship to travel around the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Niña

 

 

My eyes hurt. I needed rest.

 

But there was so much to savor

 

So many riches to quest

 

All those marvels to favor

 

 

That night, I lay in my bed

 

Book-pages spattered with colors

 

Golden, mulberry, crimson red

 

 

The sheets beneath me like Aladdin's carpet

 

Gliding to realms, a peek into dreams

 

Christopher Columbus would envy me.

 

Author's Note

Erm, actually I do need a ship to travel the world. I'm so sick of this town. I was just trying to comfort myself with this write. lol. Comments and reviews are appreciated.

Imagination, dressed in the robes of poetry; powerful and fragile at the same time. Only a few of us retain this gift into adulthood; we are called artists--you are one of the fortunate ones.

I love this, the metaphor of alladins carpet and columbus brings to mind rich colours and language.
Great piece!!

Good good, I believe the speaking is daring like an irovy pencil

[Wondering Mind]

Nice dreamy flow to this.
