Still life

Turning my orange days grey, that’s what you do. 
Flicking my sun over to a moon, like in a child’s picture.
And you make it cold. I need a blanket made of foil.
like the stuff you’d wear around your head. 
Because you must be signalling other planets.
Because you can’t handle things. 
You take my sun, stars and whole galaxy.
Because you need love so you engulf my all.
While I’m sitting here in a kitchen of still life. 
In a fruit bowl, in a glass bowl. My orange greyed with you by my side.

Great imagery. Also great analogy. Trapped in a glass bowl with someone who takes away the sun and turns you grey. I think probably true too that loving someone in that way could well turn them prematurely grey in reality. Interesting. You obviously have the talent to keep the reader hooked on your poems. Great work. Look forward to being surprised by your next piece. Regards David in NZ
