A faint star's light
He bundles me up in his balloon basket
and lets go of the ropes.
I'm buoyant, free floating
and still dumbstruck
that I matter.
He offers me the space
between the stars
but I'm happy sharing
this planet.
I have yet to meet anyone
with warmer words
than his.
It's strange and wonderful
to fly without strings.

Very sweet, Atakti, the love let loose in this poem. My only minor recommendation for the sake of symetry if nothing else is maybe ending the first line with balloon and starting line 2 with basket. All in all, a very nice job!

I absolutely love the imagery here, and the sense of love I can feel, but the poem leaves an important question unanswered, who is it you want to share the planet with?
I think of it as a father figure, but it could also be a lover/loving figure as well.
I did enjoy this though gurl. Keep it up!

The only thing that matters is to free the joy... The words release.
Thanks, Matt. :)

Love the imagery in this piece Atakti.
"He bundles me up in his balloon
basket and lets go of the ropes.
I'm buoyant, free floating"
Like a breath of fresh air, I can feel the freedom.
Beautiful write. :)

This poem reads like a warm bath, and the culmination of a long narrative which exists before your first line. I can't really think of anything to say beyond that right now. Thank you for the read.

Pre-existing narrative... how astute of you Jack. I didn't even notice. Thank you for your kind comments and the list add.

Atakti, I feel like I've stumbled into the middle of a scene in progress. I don't need the background because the now is whole and bouyant.
IMHO cadence is interrupted in a few places, such as basket needing to be on line one, anyone should be included in S4 L1, and than his moved up a line.
Again, just my opinion. Overall it's a lovely piece.

Yeah, I had "basket" on the first line, then someone suggested I move it. I tried it out, and I agree, the way I originally had it is better. Changed back!
I moved "anyone"... let's see how that sits with me.
Thanks so much for your feedback! *beams at you*

Uplifting, like the words are weightless,
even though they hold so much.
One of my favorites of yours :)

Great pen Atakti!! I'm always weightless after reading your work. Thanks for sharing.
