These Dark Clouds, Colored Luna Grey
silky words
seep slowly
into
my crowded head,
each one
pulling
vibrant colors
from
the atmosphere
~and they sing~
images flutter,
landing softly
across
these dark clouds,
colored luna grey
with the melancholy
of existing
in skin
that doesn’t fit;
each stolen
from memory,
or
my insatiable
imagination,
it’s hard to tell
sometimes
~they all sing~
rotund bass notes
sliding
skin to skin
against
the upwards lilt
that finishes
your voice
like a fine wine
paired perfectly,
and my ears
are an empty glass,
waiting

Love the personalization, the signature, of luna grey. Perfect choice for the title. Closing stanza is fascinating, to describe sound in such a way. Opening stanza seems an introduction to the mind of the artist, in particular, your experience of synesthesia. Nice use of anchoring refrain, each strikes like a revelation. You have a beautiful poetic voice Luna.

Everything about it reads of you.
And the ending alone is enough to pour anyone's heart into the glass.
Swirling.

Dear L,
I love all of it! I have to confess a favorite though and it’s mostly because I have the brain of a four year old “ rotund bass notes“. I love this line. I pictured pudgy little eighth notes dancing around teasing all the other notes. I know! Completely off topic but it is such fantastic imagery I was transported!
Despite my silliness you are most assuredly heard and loved for all the light and kindness you bring out behind your poems! H🌷

I love the way those words drew an image for you as well. That’s the beauty of poetry, to me: the ability to paint a picture and know that it will draw images for those who view it. Thank you so much, Honoria 💜💜
