You tell me I live on a different planet,
smiling, the way you smile
and sadly I agree
for when I look beneath
the earth is black,
my feet rooted to its soil
and when I look above
I see one moon,
waxing to a waning womb
and all around me vast skies,
peppered with my dreams,
every star I ever wished on
cold and dark and distant
as I breathe
the way I breathe.
very nice, isobel.. enjoyed this - you did throw me a bit i must admit with the use of the two breathe's on the last two lines however.. x
Well now that I've read it a few more times - I get what you are saying!
What do expect from someone who comes from the planet Venus?!
:( I didn't need to.
I'm not sure whether peeps are getting the irony in this. I live on Planet Earth - which is a different planet from the one that a lot of folk live on :)) I never lose my sense of humour though. x
You've told him then?
: (

What planet are you from then?
I really like this poem Isobel. I think you should have called it Planet Isobel though! I just read Chris Co's poem which I enjoyed, the youtube video he put a link to is just wonderful, don't know if you 'd like it, check it out as they say! xx

Breathing is synonymous with loving in a lot of my poetry - and not a lot of people know that LOL - sorry if it threw you Andy - in the context of the poem it works for me. x
