With renewed thanks to Mr Morgan
for his phantoms.

“We have increasingly become phantoms.
… To Jupiter to Hell and any place…”
I look at you from out of space,
I see great rifts, long mountain chains,
cyclonic eyes steamed up with rain,
white against blue.
I need to delve in that membrane
that protects you –
I might burn through your stratosphere,
my heart feels like a meteor.
Gravity retracts all my fears.
I look a spider in your sky –
I’m still looking for your garden,
stretch of heather you call Eden,
let me open my parachute.
It’s like a dream,
strangest of game –
I braved your shield to hear your song,
I dared to dive,
I still have stardust on my suit.

On the theme of Love – daring to reach out to that other one and braving one’s fears to achieve this goal. I opted for this extreme sport as its main imagery.
My way to explore that dark side of shyness and breaking it…
It is now a love song :)).
