Do lakes and stars get sick?
Do cobblestones have spirits?
Is rain removable?
Do you know how depressing to Morning
When she finds characters in bed
who has no desire to get up early for fresh air?
Can you sense the frustration
when a flat of stylishly dressed December is being misjudged and taken down?
.
Don’t you agree
That love is a tourniquet tightening the bands
about the quickly vanishing wrist of freedom?
Due to the acid of truth-everything is possible:
To be a toy snake on a TV show,
To live on crumbs of bread,
To act like a cat,
Constantly listening to the call of the Sun.
beautifully written!....i agree that "love is a tourniquet tightening the bands" and everything is possible because of love...
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice work...that love is a tourniquet tightening the bands about the quickly vanishing wrist of freedom..my favorite line
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteNo
Yes
No and No!
You ask many insightful questions.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say?
ReplyDeleteI love your questions, they all have answers... But you are not looking for answers here, are you?
The questions are there and that's it.
What is great is the way you put it
Your creative questioning mind is a true gift! (Hmm, now if only I had answers. LOL.)
ReplyDeleteLove the tone of this and that first question. This was an enjoyable read :).
ReplyDeleteWowzers! Love the tourniquet on the wrist of freedom - you are singing my song:)
ReplyDeletestriking questions.quite remarkable.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that everything is possible. Makes us feel that anything can happen as long as we put our minds to it :)
ReplyDeleteInspiring piece!
I want to continue sleeping under the warm covers of December ~
ReplyDeleteI believe that everything is possibly possible ~
I liked the last stanza, but gave a feeling of imprisonment, one seeking freedom more so than the possibility of so much...A piece that gives pause for reflection, cool! :)
ReplyDeletehappy gooseberry day!

Ji, just beautiful. Your poetry just gets better and better. I love the last line because in Winter I miss sunshine...at least until I get to the desert. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a thought provoking piece!

that's funny, especially do stars get sick.

I'm not an early riser but I do agree with the love tourniquet cutting off freedom.
ReplyDeleteStars get so sick that they eventually die. A lot of the stars still emitting light have actually died already...it takes a long time for the light to reach us...God, I'm being so boring...Sorry!

I agree yes, and no. Love is supposed to give us wings to fly.... If there are no strings attached.
ReplyDeleteA very deep and thought provoking read.
I think I have to go along with Whitesnake - exactly.
ReplyDeleteVery thought provoking & Powerful
ReplyDeleteyou brought up alot of Q's and answered them too in this provoking poem..amazing.
ReplyDelete"Do you know how depressing to Morning
ReplyDeleteWhen she finds characters in bed
who has no desire to get up early for fresh air?"
These lines speak to me. I am not a morning person, in my everyday existence. However when I am on vacation, it always amazes me how I easily I wake at dawn and enjoy watching the sun rise.
Very interesting set of questions, Your poem is making me think in a different level :)
ReplyDeleteVery well written. Yes, we should all be out enjoying nature!
