Drowning in vacuous reality

 

 

 

Drowning in vacuous reality

 

Downy driftings meander, fading

mellifluous nectar’d streams

Tiny chills on sunspot whispers glisten

Cluster’d inflorescence in dew drop wishes

awash my mind in feather’d indigo tintings

 

Finding chrysanthemum clarity blooms

amidst longings a’ fill my heart

Billowy silver lined cloud-like petals

aromatically waft sweet on senses,

teasing Cheshire grins now lost…alone

 

Emerald tea light skies twinkle

above silent unheard cries

Dampened dreams swim in tear drop oceans

Salted mistings a’ flow dark moon tides,

lineless shores sleep unaware

 

Knees meet sand, deeply soaked,

granuled pleadings weep celestial mosaics

White-knuckle fears break the surface

as eyes scan diamond washed heavens, alas…

drowning in vacuous reality

Drowning is a sea such as this, it's easy to let go...meaningless images all around...a sea of nothing...
But poets can always find answers...

[Jack...]

Yes Marie, if they write long enough they can. Thanks so very much.
