Carnations and probable outcomes

Have you ever
felt something
you
couldn’t label?
Felt like
you couldn’t pinpoint as to where exactly
your thoughts are pointing?
Gently the moon
coaxes magic
from sky, as stream of consciousness leads
to driving his crimson ocean wildβ€”
it takes only a glance.

    I love the image you chose to go with. I like the idea of the woman as the moon and the man as the crimson ocean being moved by her. Nicely done!

  5. This became “Love at first bite”, how lust and infatuation can sweep us away, come hell or high water, come longevity or just a sweet night.

    You haven’t lost your touch, dear Saana. I loved the image of “driving his crimson ocean wild”.
    I’ve missed you all but right now the gentle moon has different plans for me. Glad I could pop in for this one.

    True enough Sanaa! It just takes a second. One need not have to bother too much when it comes streaming in.
