Fresh Air

Fresh Air

A Poem by Ben Taylor

The pale violet
Luminescence
Of her ever
Waxing
Wink
Lures me
From these clean cut
Corners:
My perception
Of comfort.
Hinges silently
Abet my escape;
I inhale,
And the night
Finds a home
In my chest.
Satin strands
Of nocturnal
Radiance
Plash me with
Nonchalance
And freedom;
I repent, and
Nature
Rushes through me.
As the wind
Tousles
My hair and
Whispers
Sweet nothings,
I denounce my
Windows
And
Walls.

Excellent poem, love the form and the way it rolls off the tongue so easily. Nature's call cannot be ignored :) and you displayed that well here.

The transition from inside our man-made walls, to outside under the moon is captured here with accuracy and feeling... natures fresh air pervading the body and spirit, enticing and gently calling. Excellent word choices and clear images.

Fresh night air becomes a sort of silky siren. Wonderful craft, charming images and interesting, intelligent word choice.
Looks to me, Ben, like another gold star.
