Where Time Spins in a Glass



This city is crying,

and I'm drowning

in its triple distilled
tears

Thinking of a sunrise

that escapes the eternity
of puddled perpectives

No matter
The here is now
A moment

Unqualified

by filtered regrets
and bubbling

with future nostalgia

A poisonous attraction
lubricated

by merry volition
and violent rhythms


The world is spinning
and we're swimming

in the ecstasy
of triple distilled tears.

you are going to have to help me out with triple distilled tears. Is there any significance?

triple distilled tears instantly caught my eye...brilliant phrase....however the arrangement of the poem does not appeal to me...it seems too random and formless...was that intentional?

anil - The arrangement is purposeful or in context it is inevitable. Slow distortion and lost lucidity...

**silvermOOn** - Sounds like you're doing well by yourself, then!

stormy zephyr - Glenfiddich? Can't say I've ever partaken. Though a good scotch and poetry has a familiar ring to it.

(i could have sworn i commented on this one and the one below!!!)

nonetheless, i'm a big fan of your poetry. the words you use, read out loud, they are my favorite.

"sunrise that escapes the eternity" lovely line.

**silvermOOn** - I've no doubt you'd fit right in, piquing curiousity all around you...

lorena - I'm just glad I get a chance to read your comments here. Always a pleasure.

And maybe those sunrises should be captured more often...
