Blue Horizons Bleed Red Mist
Wish I could fly my way to Mars
Escape the gravity of reality
And the hopeless blue of skies and seas
Pushing down and drowning me
The heavens glow with points of light
Calling minds too weak to learn
The stars that shower down hold no magic
To make wishes on or guide lost souls
To secret destinations on distant worlds
Where tears are recycled to quench the thirst
Of lips that long for a kiss to wet them instead
For the salty taste of one’s own tears
Inspires the craving for more tears to fall
And who am I to reject the truth I can’t deny
That like the stars spread across the endless sky
Loneliness is my infinite destiny?
Escape the gravity of reality
And the hopeless blue of skies and seas
Pushing down and drowning me
The heavens glow with points of light
Calling minds too weak to learn
The stars that shower down hold no magic
To make wishes on or guide lost souls
To secret destinations on distant worlds
Where tears are recycled to quench the thirst
Of lips that long for a kiss to wet them instead
For the salty taste of one’s own tears
Inspires the craving for more tears to fall
And who am I to reject the truth I can’t deny
That like the stars spread across the endless sky
Loneliness is my infinite destiny?

The blue skies and sea do spell loneliness at times, even the yellow sun outside the window spells that. This poem touched me that way deeply, JJ.

Oh how your blue horizons bleed red mist beautifully! When I find myself reading your love poems or even your rare erotica, Im left mesmerized by your overall river of flowing talent. You are brilliant in ever genre!
This piece covered in softs hints of gloom still seem to carry at the very end a question of questionable hope. Enjoyed JJ! Missed ya~ Xo

One comment from you and you make all the time you were gone vanish into a red mist... Thank you Rain, for this and many more of your wonderful comments. If you were single I would write such poems for you in hopes of winning your heart... JJ

Mighty pen Poetryman ! (I'm reminded of that wonderful song, Poetryman by the late, great Phoebe Snow) As an inspiration to Rain's recent post, "For Your eyes Only", I just wanted to to the "fuel" that inspired such a great write. After reading your ink, I now understand : )
Excellent pen sir, excellent.

Thank you for commenting Mr M! Rain is an inspiration unto herself, so it was pretty amazing to know my owm words inspired her. Phoebe Snow's life has an inspiration and that song is why I call myself Poetryman. Glad you like this also! JJ
