IN THE COMET'S WAKE (photomorph) & HIS PASSING LIGHT (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

HIS PASSING LIGHT

my deep affection
for him trails this newer one
for you like a comet's tail; no matter
the universes my heart blazes through,
he stays attached, burning and fading
out, burning and fading again like
the erratic light
he always
radiated;
this
unique
appendage
balancing
me like
a tree
monkey's
long tail
as I leap
or stumble
forward,
both
craving
and not
craving the
occasional
electric
shock
of his
passing
light

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
