Trips Of The Mind Poem by Scarlett Treat

Trips Of The Mind

Rating: 3.1


In my mind trips, I traveled
The shape of your body at least
A thousand times, until I knew
Each contour,
Each curve, each line.

In my heart's journey, I roamed
As freely as the wind blows,
Covering the surface of you,
Blowing into each crack and crevice
Until I became you.

Beautiful description of what the imagination can do with the objects of our affection...I, too, love the analogy of the body/landscape...I was breezing with the wind through the gorgeous crevices; o)

I got to the end and wished there was more to it. A surprise for the mental senses. Great work.

Wonderfully sensual meditation... I love the feel of: 'In my heart's journey, I roamed/As freely as the wind blows...'

Linda~ This poem is so sensual and calming. My favorite part is, “Blowing into each crack and crevice Until I became you.” The imagery here is so beautiful and almost mystifying. Nicely done! :) ~Courtney
