Petals In the Sand

The warm winter’s night
Wind wisping swirls wonderfully
With cool loving fingers
Waving gentle through my hair
Tugging gentle at my soul
A pool of windshield glass
Beside me in the grass
Greenish-blue rectangular crystals
Quivering and glistening
Like water upon a lovers back
--enticing
“Who are you?"
said the ghost
Another voice replying,
“I am a mask upheld by schemers
Believed by dreamers
Dying in the past"
The wavering ghosts
Drag chains through memories
Melting fiery white
In the faces of the moon
Each link lining
what was once
And never again.
“I saw you there.”
“when?”
“lastnight…
Some have crumpled up in the desert winds
And died
Petals buried in the sand.
“And some,
Not roses anymore,
Nor daiseys,
But dandelions,
Old and blossomed
Into planetary spheres
Dreams and plans
Parachuted seeds of solipsism –
Seen floating away upon the breeze.”
“Are you a thief?”
“Perhaps.”
“A highwayman?”
“of course…
Passing through the endless nights
Of youth
When everything’s forever
Everyday a venture.
“I have come for you
Across the seven seas
To hold you in my arms
And watch you cry upon my shoulders.
“See the fermented grapes
Upon the boardwalk planks
Christen water lilies
Giving maiden thanks
Before the venture to the stars
Shining silvery
In the eyes of youth.
“Come along we’ll journey far
Holding hand-in-hand
Come along we’ll journey far
Forgetting petals in the sand."

I welcome you to our global family here at ypdc.
I've read both of your writes here and I sum them up in one word, mezmerizing.
You certainly have a unique way with words.
Huggs, smiles,

Wow, I found this piece quite moving. Beautiful use of imagery. The ebb and flow of the words draw you through the poem as if riding the ocean tides.
Beautifully done.
Peace

Kevin, I have to admit the first time I read this, I was lost in the imagery,
but now that I've had time to re-read it a few more times, I find it has an ethereal
feel to it. And it reads like a scene from a movie. I was reminded of the movie
"Stay" when I read this a final time. Only this had more colour and light to it. :)
It's kinda like the last thoughts as you pass from one world to another. I
imagine our minds just bouncing around from thought to thought, remembering
things, people, places. And yeah, not all of it would be that cohesive, but still
beautiful and necessary to the whole concept, you know?
Anyway, a great first post. Belated greetings and a sincere late welcome to
our little poetry family. =) Hope you stay a while. It's a comfortable enough place.
Kudos, my good poet!
~Breezy
