I trudged through a haze of my own making
wondered at my purpose and place
challenged the existence of this higher power
readjusted my heavy bags and searched for my car
glanced up as I moved through the parking lot
stopped mid-step
charcoal smudges of cirrus were smeared broad across a liquid pink sky
drawn like tilled rows of crumbled Oreos on melted rainbow sherbet
colors so ridiculously intense
bands so geometrically parallel
it could only be the nights dreamy story drawn in indigo ink
tempting the breathless sun with one last tango
jaw still gaping, breathing long since forgotten
my mind smiled reassured and then slapped my ego
yep you got skills big G
when you’re done with this display
I could really use a hug later
Dark Angel 
Loved it. A
Glad you did. Thanks.
Love this!
Thanks Ayala.
This is great.. and a big hug to you 🙂
I’ll take that hug 🙂 Thanks.
The imagery is amazing!
Thanks Quaz, I’m tickled you think so.
Awww, sweet…
Thanks Marina 🙂
ha she is not shy at all….and so much beauty and surprises in her painting palette…. hope she did give you a big hug… that makes me wanna take out my paints you know…
orgasmic…ha…i like…
I went looking for a picture that could do this sunset justice. It does not exist. Perhaps you’ll paint me one?
i think it doesn’t need a picture… you paint it perfectly with your words…smiles
Beginning with the title….your poem GOT and KEPT my attention!!
Hehe. A little over the top perhaps but so was her show.
Yeah..being one with the Earth and the sky and nature in general in movement..musick..or just the awe of beauty of the ALL of IT..is better than any little orgasm..I ever experienced….as simply me..and not part of the One that IS ALL…
Thanks for coming by for a read Katiemiafrederick 🙂
Thanks for taking me on this walk to the car. In the pauses, anything can happen. Maybe a painting, a gape a smile. Certainly a hug. Just ask the big G.
The pauses can be rich indeed Susan!
Brilliant! Enjoyed it
Why thank you!
You mentioned always searching outside yourself for answers in your comment to me. I found this very introspective and your style of moving in and out of philosophic language into the real world was really interesting. I gave the ‘heaviness’ of the big Why? a lightness that made it seem that asking the question really did expect and answer. Consider yourself hugged, if that is permissable. Best >KB
Thanks so much for the hug. I heard they raise our happiness quotient by 14% 😉
You’re very welcomed. >KB
Heavens to Betsy – this rocked my brain! Your reading was fantastic and a reminder to read these poems slowly! This was like a slow-sucking hard candy – inspired!
What a nice comment 😀 I tried to comment on yours but was stopped by google+ seems my sex and bday weren’t enough they said they didn’t like my name 😛 Anyway I loved your third stanza!
Thanks, yeh I need to figure how to fix the comments, not liking it.
Yeah asking a woman her age is gonna cut down your comments for sure 😛
FYI – I fixed the comments on my board so you don’t have to give a dna sample. 🙂
smiles…no and it is a beautiful sight when she does as well….seen some pretty vivid skies of late….very nicely done…and i would def give you the hug as well…smiles.
Gosh, I guess I should have asked for a hug a long time ago.
This is chalk full of incredible imagery and scenes that make me so happy. Mother nature is orgasmic. LOL
I’m glad it had that effect on you. Mother nature is the bomb!
Very lovely and really liked the reality check of the hug at the end – always enjoy coming here… With Best Wishes to you Witchy Woo.. Scott http://www.scotthastie.com
Hi Scott. Are you recalling my poem where I asked if I was a witch? 😀 Thanks for visiting.
Haunting piece as you try to lighten the load of life…
Nothing like a little sky display to chase away the melancholy.
This is great! I Love the description of the colors & sky! The ending is perfect. 🙂
Thank Katie, I’m glad you liked it.
Great title, wish I thought of it. 😉
Thanks Christopher. I was trying to think of what to call a grand explotion of emotion… and that’s what came to me. I commented on yours but it automatically used my other blog name. Enjoyed your play with numbers 😉
Beautiful title to go with the imagery. Could imagine the series of hugs that are forthcoming. Nicely DA
Hank
