So pleased so pleased
to be in this
unspeakably
jigsaw world; to
clasp this neon card -
it is that
brilliant -
between jelly fingers.

---

I cannot contain the moon
even in verse.
I will stand in its warmth until
I get silly, and,
at my giddiest,
wonder what all this is
made up of. Until

I recognise the silken glow
woven, by
selfish hearts,
from
nothing.  
It is beauty.
And hollow.

When it pierces the seamless net of blue
roses, when the Mind and the Heart trip
over each other, when I start to
Breathe
with my head
Underwater -

Words will come. As they
should.

Author's Comments

Spur of the moment, penned during a mad revision of Social Studies actually. (Though I don't think the content of the poem has anything to do with the social studies!)
I don't know where this came from. And that is exactly how I believe it should be.

Fran Healy, of the band Travis, a band I love(and will love for a long time!), said that songs (or poems) come from the "spaces between thoughts". - wee patches of grey that don't appear to be real. Nor appear to make sense. Or have a definite origin. I think I've understood that, in sort of my own way, right here.



Like most else, this is entirely open to interpretation; do share your own, I'd love to know.

(It's been such a long time since I've written a poem. It feels fine. Ish. And odd, like feeling again what it's like to have a shower after ages and ages of not having done it regularly!)
