~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

once again your presence has eluded me
 
above the contours of earth,
you flutter across time zones
like a migrating bird or vacationing Cessna
 
without the opportunity to welcome your arrival,
i am left on this empty emotional tarmac
beckoning a phantom flight.
 
perhaps we are scheduled to traverse parallel universes
and psychic membranes,
indiscriminately passing through each other,
 
merging our minds through creative lore;
transforming touch through our molecule bending -
yet something's amiss
 
i know, it’s all my fault -
 
i forgot my boarding pass
desperately avoiding
another stopover to you

Ach... silly you!! :)) Missing connections are the darndest of things - whether in real-time, across time zones, or in and out of dreams' revolving doors. Reads like a romantic-thriller screenplay, leaving us all on tenterhooks - or, rather, mid-air! Good sustatined metaphor here, Kartero and a good pinch of tongue-in-cheek. Still, with the pyschic wavelengths and connections as you here describe them, lacing parallel lives together, guess some sort of tangible tapestry will result at some stage... Perhaps you're just viewing all the loose threads for now: the picture inside out. But, judging by the wide-armed welcome this write has already received, seems to me like you got quite A Ticket To Ride goin on anyhow! :)) Take care out there on the sandbar with old Puffing Billy and let me know if Mars gets anywhere within striking distance! :)) KameKaze Kate xx

You amaze me Jude. Always. The Ying and Yang of love you've depicted so exquisitely. Only your special talent could create this wonder. I've printed it out and have it above my computer desk; it touched me that deeply speaks to me in words I relate to so well.
In loving admiration I remain your devoted fan.

Interesting write of twisted emotions or perhaps interwoven ones of desire yet fear of the unknown. All too often we "un"intenntinally forget our boarding passes to lifes events that may we may be wary of. Good write Jude.

Finding a way to get to that magnetic connection is not always a simple task. We know, inherently, that we must be with that being but at times, it seems near impossible to make that happen. It is easy to question our self and wonder if we are to blame by not believing or for fabricating something that really does not exist. The truth of the matter is that our heart knows its partner and the beat that is synchronized with our own. Beautiful metaphorical poetry, Jude.
Take care,
Sherry

Jude, you write a throught-provoking poem. This sounds like love "in absence". It reminded me of a friend I had years ago who was married to a big-wheel laywer. The story was he took jaunts in his plane down to the islands several times a year, and she would hire a plane to go find him, and they would pass each other going in opposite directions--and so the twain never met.

Jude I love the general idea and the metaphors of journeys made in space or time, present or future. It makes me see us humans as travelers meeting or eternally missing each other.
Your line "indiscriminately passing through each other" is very effective.

Parallel universes, infinite number of dimensions, planes like wavering lines touching each other now and then but never together...

Jude,
Usually instead of straight line my mind takes the zigzag road. This is worm and touching poem; I like the idea of two souls being compatible in celestial plane, which can be explained different ways.
Is it possible that the poem is about someone who recently arrived or entered into the Den, you felt attraction but never had the chance to welcome her… and now for many reasons you are trying to avoid stopover …. Possible scenario?? just kidding :-)
Nice work, Love Ankin

Meeting of the minds sequined with astral dust diverted into the trancing bubbles of a Pilsner at Happy Hour...lipsticked and rouged in cosmic collateral, there she be...her elusive shawl made from meteor shards and conchos of Saturn's rings...stopover is a fourth-dimensional diorama into the paranormal force field...

"I urge you to use the one way fare, that brings you to your desired destination. It is only a few moments away before you lose your chance. Fly the cosmos into passionate nights of unbridled energy, where the moon and the stars shine their light toward that journey of complete satisfaction and love."

Well I guess I like your poem, I was inspired to respond in this way. I don't know what came over me, perhaps it's the heat or a hot proposal of a journey to euphoria!
Much peace, love, and light,
