Linda Alice Fowler Poet Free verse

Wave of Fantasy

		I ride this wave of fantasy
		that sends my desires astir.
		What dreams may come
		from the spiraling are yet
		to vaporize in the stars.

The ebb and flow become
the tide of dysphoria
as I ride this crest of fantasy
to the Cancri netherworld
and I roil from its heat!

		My soul aches from the pain
		and I search for euphoria
		through a new fantastical wave
		and find the coolness I seek
		in Uranus’ aquamarine comfort.

The white caps are the stars
that move me among the planets,
my energy spinning with the tides;
a maelstrom circling through 
whirling and twirling consciousness. 

		Touring this universe of planets,
		I spin through wave after
		wave of fantastical,
		precognitive dreams, muddled
		and muddied as I return to shore.

Miranda Hawley February 10, 2023 at 6:34 PM Is this a fantasy or is this a nightmare? Also fantastical is a fabulous word! Linda Alice Fowler February 10, 2023 at 7:37 PM Yes Miranda. LOL A fantasy may have a beginning and an end...starting from nothing, twisting, turning, evolving...then returning. The landing is up to you. Thanks for the nod on fantastical!

Linda Alice Fowler February 10, 2023 at 2:53 PM Thank you Wendy. I appreciate your visit and comments today. I used to be more of a dreamer than I am now. I've been accused of carrying rocks around just to keep my feet on the ground. LOL :)
