Wormholes



As night wanes into predawn light,
I dream-slip holes through time and space
where past and present interlace,

and for a moment we retrace
the fervent fire…the sweet desire;
we coalesce in youth's embrace—

till morning rays again erase...
as night wanes into predawn light.

  1. nice...love the dreamy feel of this...the dream-slipping holes through time and space...love the times when night/day and dream and reality wash into each other and overlap a bit..

  2. there is a nice rhythm in this...the form or scheme adds to that...i like the revisiting youths desire...night allows us a bit of darkness to do that in...smiles...and hopefully the light does not take it all away...smiles.

  4. This was wistful and had a feel of sad longing, as though you didn't want the dream to end. Great writing - the perfect length.

  5. Ginny, I love the octain and what you have accomplished with it in this dream-like poem. You are so good at form poetry. Maybe I need to write another octain. I'm stuck right now.

  10. Oh, so nice to read a new octain! Or is it? Maybe a variation on the normal rhyme scheme? Either way,it parcels up the message very snugly.

    Love 'dream-slip'

  17. Ginny,

    You always seem to be able to capture elusive (and allusive) thoughts and ideas in your fine short pieces. I always enjoy stopping. Nice work here.

  19. I love the 'dream-slip holes through time an space' ... one of my favourite things to do. This speaks so eloquently of romance and beauty.

  20. hey ginny

    I can SO relate to this one ginny. and you use one of my favourite words 'interlace' and I love the drop down rhyme into 'retrace'. such a S W eeet idea, time tunnels taking us places we can remember and perhaps to spaces we have already forgotten. a real sense of peace in the ability to travel Who-style ;)

  21. Ahh.. yes pre-dawn light is a "mixing" time of present and past. The flow adds to the dreamy feel of this! Hope you are enjoying your summer - I'm having trouble keeping up with things, but that is the way of my summers usually. :)
