The Collision(Dream)

All night, you weighed me up, globular, a mad-god eye,
From your jeweled grove. What weight can measure the
Sky when you unbalance so. Dark sided circumference, always
Hidden, maybe you’ve lived forever,
Planetoid Eidelon, enlarging the night, your orbit incalculable, oblong
And ancient. It frightens me to death. Staring down and down
Through the filmy epidermal sky-layers, Weightlessly, Yet
Terrifically powerful, a back lit sea magnet,
I think I will die if I look any longer, you wade across the ocean
Like a conscious balloon, Closer, Closer, falling, your singular eye askew.
Bulging horrendously, The vertical approach begins,
Bobbing ever closer.
Now I’m finished, The sky is a moon, A billion liters of water
Rise up to meet the lop-sided prospect, Incoming.
I watch this enormous death-ball trundling upward, or maybe side ward,
A cratered catastrophe, the Earth converse,
The impact will end me, antipodal bodies obliterate each other.
A titanic gravitational expulsion… then nothing.

Okay, this is pretty scary, yet in some way very beautiful because of the vivid imagery you use. I felt as though I was witnessing the universe's creation and destruction all in one fell swoop.
Thanks,

Well holy heck zenith!! I do remember reading this, but could not comment for lack
of any kind of articulation. I think Tim's observation was excellent, but upon reading
it a second and third time, it now feels to me like a disturbance in the cosmic forces
have shifted the path of a planet and it is now crashing into Earth ... quite the dream,
dear poet! O_o
lol
As always your descriptions astound and amaze me. You are like the Stephen King
of YPDC, (for your sheer talent at descriptive expression). Your work is brilliant!!
Always a pleasure to read you,
~ Breezy
