Anatomy Of A Dream

by ghosts in bloom   Mar 22, 2011


---

this ripe, fair skin
bathed in moon-milk
has been grappled by phosphoresce lassos;
incandescent fingers of twine
that lurch from an admissible deep.

twitch tiny waist -
your sweet vanilla savor is wafting
'round navy turnpikes,
through dimly lit tunnels
along star dusted shores.

this uncharted territory
of cardiovascular topography:

where any notion is a nomad.

winking towers of cityscapes are swallowed
by Danube's capacious belly
whose proliferous tree line is evergreen;
ever glowing - every color -
every place - every

time one breath expires
linen creases like folds on a map.
my cerebral reality realigns
with celestial bodies,
loosening Orion's belt.

I am a sequence; sequined cosmos.

    You indeed are a dream.

    If only words could even start to explain, praise how creative and vivid this composition is. Each reference, metaphor, word, sentence so exquisite that I am speechless. I am unable to pick a favorite stanza. Beautifully penned, just ravishing. Alluring, Stellar. I want to write more but I am stunned. For it is not everyday that one stumbles upon such extravaganza.
