Airglow

After a looooooong time.

My insomnia has got up early tonight.

It’s zero dark hundred now

floating across the cadence of tangle. 

While the aurora prepares to nourish the profile,

I take a chance to sense the mirage extracted from its maxim. 

Appetizing it is. 

Simultaneously, 

the navy starts to fade itself slightly

and invites cyanic steam to float.

All the sedate dots keep blinking

until my insomnia falls asleep..

This is a perfect weave showing a poet who's loving vocabulary & precise expression & intelligence, but not having this sound at all clunky or cerebral, but instead it flows with pungent original imagery (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I think my write-ups are creating an opposite impression of me because my vocab is super weak. Sometimes I learn about the synonym for a word, I like that, I use that, then after sometime I forget what it means. It becomes more noticeable when someone randomly asks me the meaning of something they get from my poetry. Not very proud of myself.
But thank you so much for all the positive vibes you give me. These always keep me motivated.
Also one of the reasons why I look up to you.
*hugs*

Being almost 65 & forgetful becuz of a brain-stem injury, I use many words that I forget minutes later. I figure it's a good thing becuz I don't want to re-use intriguing words to the point where it becomes a repetitive tic. I know some poets that have pet big words they use too often! *wink! wink!* (could be said about me, too!)

[moog-drika]

Haha I'm glad that I'm not the only one :D :D cheers!
And yes, I too avoid using the big words repetitively, also make sure my piece has more common words with a few uncommons :3

[Gaurav]

Such a wonderful piece and some amazing lines

[moog-drika]

Thank you so much my friend. It really means a lot.

Those sedate blinking dots have kept me company on many a sleepless night. I too an insomniac. Maybe it's a poet thing. That's usually the time my muse decides to call. Good to read you again.

[moog-drika]

I must say that your muse is really loyal. Mine is very unpredictable. haha
And I absolutely agree. I likewise think it's a poet thing. I guess I got this 'Gift' from my poet father.
However, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Glad to be in touch again :'D

[Chris Shaw]

Just to let you know my muse is a cantankerous little madam :) She is always going on holiday for short breaks.

I am lucky i don't have sleeping problems I do wake up some mornings and write for an hour and go back to sleep but sleep rarely eludes me i am pretty sure it is because i meditate so frequently it is easy for me to clear my mind and truth be told it is generally pretty empty anywho

[moog-drika]

You are really lucky then! I have sleeping problems since the day I was born. My dad always tells me stories about how I always kept them awake and pushed them to keep me entertained for whole night. haha
And about meditation, Ah I wish I had this patience. I don't know why I can't stay focused when I try to meditate.
Anyways, glad to be in touch again. :'D

I really like the title first of all. The poem interested me more than just entertained. Wonderfully penned. Tyfs

[moog-drika]

Thank you so much for the positive words. I wasn't really sure about the title but this relieved me of the confusion.

insomnia, i suffer from this, It stinks so bad.

[moog-drika]

I know. Unwanted guest. >.

This is why I count sheep. Though that is getting harder due to the heavy snow.
Then I wonder if sheep count humans, do fish have this problem, is that the alarm.
This is why we've all gone nuts.

[moog-drika]

Hahhaha this comment cracked me up. So deep.
I think the sheep think the same. :v
Maybe we are nothing but delusions.

[duff]

I can definitely relate to this. I just refilled my klonopin. I think you captured it well. Images coming and going. Nice work.

[moog-drika]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Means a lot :D

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is me most nights.
Damn that zero dark hundred, but thank God for those dots...
as finally worn out enough with overthinking life, sleep comes at last.
love this journey, Mugdha...
