I shall float

by Amir Riveroll   Apr 15, 2008


Every night, I close my eyes
and imagine myself high in the skies
where the sun is cold
and the clouds are cotton candy
where the moon is brightly smiling
while the stars seem so sandy
where the rain taste like juice
but if you're lucky, it might be brandy.

i imagine surpassing the atmosphere
where my lungs are filled
but not with air
where our body may linger
far, with no fear.

i orbit like childhood dreams who are missed
or angry souls who are pissed
PHD graduates who studied so hard
just to assist
a boy recieving his first kiss
right before his first love
claiming it never exist
a dare devil taking a mild risk
then breaking each and every disc

i imagine sinking
to the deepest of depts.
where the water is dark
and silence is deaf.
where loneliness kills
and survival is put to the test

where the lifeless bones ache
of the poor fishermen
whose deckhands were too late
their bones vanish much like their soul
below the dangerous bearing straight.

i imagine all of these things
and yet i cant rate
if living is much worst
then dying is cake
if paradise really is heaven
or earth has some faith
since where will our souls rest
and where our tears acumulate?

im sorry, but you cant see what i see
for i only have 2 eyes, and they will only be with me

    If I had to pick one word to summarize this poem; staggering. I was not expecting to read a poem like this at all. What great imagery! The way you express yourself in this poem creates the canvas on which life is painted. I thought it was great how you covered both the happy and gloomy side to life. I also picked up on the hidden question in this poem that all human life is asking; where do I belong, what is my purpose, and where will I go? You created an excellent poem here my friend, it deserves no less than a 5. What a fantastic read, and I wish you nothing but the same prowess in other poems you write.
