Strange, how when consider giving yourself
An inner light comes into you
A moment of hesitation becomes you
The sky actually becomes discreet again
Yet the ground is still a jello- based trampoline
Conceived while bouncing in from another time zone
So it becomes the time to think things over
Your know, the usual plethora of surreal images
Passing though your mind
And that continuous spray of tinted glass
Splintering then slithering
Crumbling into a vortex of silly thoughts
And miraculously you realize
What you thought was your hard drive spooling
Is actually the clatter from a midnight shower
Above the canopy
Where Romeo and Juliet had once gathered
And Nero listened to Rome as it burned
And suddenly a serious memory of once again
Sends you into an unexpected direction
Of riding horses
... I can hear their clattering hooves on the windowpanes even now! :)) Wonderful imagery which, though diverse and spinning outwards from the spooling chaos, sustains your thought process wonderfully. Fully sprung and elasticated, this Bouncy Castle of life is appreciated only by those whose childlike minds are prepared enough to strip their feet of adult shoes and socks and tread the dream of the previous realities of former "once agains".
A view of the liquid pony, ("And that continuous spray of tinted glass Splintering then slithering Crumbling into a vortex of silly thoughts") through the view of a magic kaleidoscope in a Shakespearean timewarp from the White Knight's balcony overlooking the Bronx, scanning modern-day Montagues and Capulets and hoofing the hemlock of the city, ("that continuous spray of tinted glass splintering")...captivating imagery of another time and another place, Jude...
Motion is the feel I get from this.......
Emotional and spirtual
Cerebral projections
as far away.......as fingertips on key board........
giddyup!

I can feel this one deeply.......extra quiet because I keep drifting into these realms......hard to write horror when I am like that LOL.
I love the imaginative subtle metaphors in this introspective write. Reading this was like being drawn into a painting by Dali. Enjoyed this Jude.

Creative introspection about love -- I love a poem that really makes me 'think', Robert, and this poem does that. A very interesting poem and it captured my attention throughout.

Interesting the leap between love and horses, freedom is defined by the wild horse as Ch'erie suggests and you captured those thoughts driftin through your mind so well.
You are such a brilliant poet and always so original. I love reading your works. It's great to have been afforded the time to get back into the den.

This poem is definitely a thinker..
Your words take me into another place not thought of before.
You have an immeasurable talent, Jude. The ending was wonderful.

There is always more to what we experience than the corporeal extrapolations of such. In my perspective ... you paint a subtle picture here of differing realities brought about by the objective and subjective view of the reality.
