Open Technicolor Skies

'But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre' Lorde

A young cub

Gray sky

Dusty VHS's

Cleaning my messes

This feeling never gets old

I know there's planets and galaxies and revelations

But there's nothing like this

Chocolate milk and apple juice like little kids

Late night in the water

I lost the last of it the last time I was sick

Cherry icemaker

Hearttaker

So many different stores

Realizing this is the something you want more

Birds fly

Across the tall sky behind the window

And I don't know how to get enough

All I hear is Lorde saying 'laughing till our ribs get tough'

You are neon Christmas lights

The grinning, twinkling star that helped me never give up the fight

So don't hide how well your instruments can be

Cause your with me

Chasing cobwebs like kids

The night sky with dragonflies

Got so big

Your in the middle of the rebels

And you're sick of this

You'll be my core nostalgic memroy

Nostalgic memory

Those same gray skies

Running in the snow, shaded and smiling so joyfully

Telephone wires tangled in those same skies

So the whole neighborhood could smile

Electrical tower led us to relief

And the peace we always need

You'll be in my care

Don't worry about enemies

The blue windows and curtains behind you

You're lucky

Stars in a castle for a princess

But stardust collapsed from the heart, always make a mess

You're my stars in the sky

But couldn't understand why

This Christmas it'll rain wreaths

I remember 

Running through city streets

Now I'm finally free

To do it all again

This isn't a new book in the old series

This is a new beginning

That's right, I'm branching off

You kept me

Lost me in your own time

But I opened my eyes

50's, 60's, 70's

I'm no longer lost

Author's Note

YES, I know, another Lorde reference. Thanks for reading! :D

This is the ultimate in speaking thru imagery. I would give anything to be like a big cherry-picker in the sky, looking down at all the delicious possibilities, all the lively details you discover to add to your poems (((HUGS)))

Fabulous poem Colacat. I got lost in all the colour, the detail, the activity of past decades. A new found freedom doesn't mean we forget the past. We just have a different perspective on it. Thank you for sharing.

Oh damn, this is good. A reawakening...the lost self found after thirty years---youth reinstated---
at least in the mind and heart...
what a prolific journey this is....

A kaleidoscope of images reflecting a shared life, a relationship, staying resilient through all those times. Then finding a new beginning and change. Letting go of old ways to find a new you. I really enjoyed reading this poem Colacat thank you for sharing.
