Notes About The Poem

Celestial Spheres

it tumbles in each chamber of my heart
thundering turbulence 
raging against the walls
rising rising
like the tide awakened
by the insistent moon
this clamorous desire
floods my heart
rushing through my veins 
gushing and swelling my very core
throbbing its demands
it commands 
the inner pink mooned sphere
to awake and release 
the inner tides

and I am swept away
on ebullient crest
of this passion display
far far away
to where
life is a pulse
thought is a sigh
and time?
time is endless
in the celestial spheres
of your eyes

For me I can't understand why people have issue with pictures. I say do what feels right!

... didn't see that end coming. Some eyes are really quite something ... but a moon that tugs at your inner being like the tide of the oceans? ... well that's just a little bit of an other-worldy beauty. Adore the way your thoughts built up and climaxed to the final reveal.

i like the confident opening of this poem, trusting that the reader will know exactly what you're talking about, nice bits of rhyme sprinkled throughout, and i particularly like "life is a pulse/thought is a sigh" hugs, charlotte

Thank you, dear. I love it when you give me insights. I'm grateful for the visit. I know I write free verse and then get tempted to sprinkle rhyme in there...as you said. I should stick to one or the other. Hugs...
