Crystals In The Sky
This is a poem I’ve written just today. It’s titled
“Crystals In The Sky”. Obviously, it’s a surreal poem that utilizes symbols and imagery that connotes the meaning, of hope and redemption.
Once,
in every while,
my eyes is shaded by a cellophane
as the wind becomes fluid, despite of that
I stare towards the sky.
The crystals,
hiding previously from the clouds,
comes out now in the open sea, open sea of blue,
while a maiden appears acting like a mother, or like a sister
she gives me messages of hope while at times, scolding me.
Oh the lady,
that maiden with her rebuke
I’d rather see the crystals in the sky,
in their soldiery formation, unflinching and unmoved —
they must have stared at me with their entire valor.
Who are they?
What are they?
Are they friends or are they foes?
They must have had beauty for they were soothing to me,
like fresh water splashing from a mountain spring.
These crystals
they shine like diamonds in the sky,
hundreds of thousands of them, where in the past I have seen millions
or merely by the hundred thousands —
As I might have been mistaken.
The crystals in the sky,
my friends who have appeared to me,
floating in the sky and flashing before my eyes,
as they come to me,
Often.

To Gypsy: oh how I love that Beatle song that when I was a child, watching a very surreal cartoon MTV of it, when MTV was not yet as popular as now, it was so etched in my mind.
They must have some subliminal influence on me, the mopheads from Liverpool, I mean.

To BW: Thanks bro. Every once in every while, I feel the desire to create some lyrical words. These days, then inspiration comes often as I looked deeper inside me.

Very good! You used imagery to full use.
I once taught literature, and I enjoy interpreting poetry. Ironically though, I find it hard to write lines. hehe.

To spliceanddice: Thanks Splice, I like imagery; one could be honest with that, and yet be veiled at the same time.

To Rhodora: Oh, coming from a literature teacher, that’s so fine. Thansk so much.
I am sure you’d be able to write some lyrical words when the right inspiration or mood comes in.

To barrycade: When I was so much younger, the ‘poet’ in me are always out in the open, that I even had that ‘poet’ look before, glum and disheveled hair, and nerdy look. But I’ve outgrown those years.
