One by
one
They swell
to birth distinctness
of the
camouflaged colours
tied
to secure
co-existing
paradoxes
sewing
reminiscences
for
tomorrow’s soliloquy
Now they
bob
to placate the bitterness
of a
shrunken acceptance
with
time - the wheel spins
a starlit
sky awaits
to connote
a new moon for
a moonless
night
nice... i like how you lean into metaphor here... i love balloons and they surely have that emotional potential... love the image you leave us with especially
ReplyDeleteBalloons.. don't you just love them.. they dance and misbehave too.. (especially in them wind)

ReplyDeletefor tomorrow’s soliloquy
was a cool set of lines....i love the image of a lone balloon in the sky as well...
I liked this very much for the image evoked in my mind by your words..
ReplyDeleteHow creative to describe those balloons ~ I never thought of the sky waiting for them ~
ReplyDeleteoh, you have really brought those balloons to life here!!
ReplyDeleteOh I loved this. I missed the title in my first read and I was racing through to find out what it was about and so many images came to mind. Thank you for your kind wishes.
ReplyDeleteSeems like these balloons are several things at once! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat every one else said is true ... moving poem.
ReplyDeleteI love the poetic portrayal of your balloons!
