Let us not drown in our waters
stand up, we'll carry it home.
Bullets of mercury may fasten
‘round our arms and legs
Throwing us backwards
in the rain on new moon.
But let’s breathe.
We will reap our flood.
Luna is waxing
to October.
Author notes
Short little poem I didn't expect to write. This is actually based on my horoscope...and a matter of fact, his horoscope too.
The water refers to us being Aquarius. The bullets of mercury (throwing us backward) refers to Mercury being in retrograde this month. (No bueno, in this case) The New moon would be our toughest time, but now it's passed and the moon is growing again to October, which horoscope wise should be a much better month!
I don't let horoscope rule my life and decision-making, but it surely becomes fitting at times!
Things are getting heavy ...I think it's a minor disgression really. Right now, I actually feel at peace. I believe in those 6th sense kind of things. Especially mine...I feel no hurt or worry right now so I feel like trouble is lifting from both ends.
We'll be fine, we're great friends. I could tell from a mile away but he finally admitted he's in a bad place at the moment and I'm just too much to handle right now, I actually find that semi-hilarious...I guess I can be a fire cracker. :/
It's ok. I'll be here when he's ready. All I can do is understand, and I'm glad to move aside if that's what he needs.

Thank you for the comments. I am too surprised that at how randomly this poem was written that I was able to incoporate so much secret meaning into it.

let me start by saying this is the first of your work that i have read and i was completely captivated....i was at first drawn to your page by your name...random goldfish which was so random wierd and hilarious i had to look..your page was fun and between it and this piece youve definately made a new fan today,,im going to read much more of your work and i hope you stop by my page and leave some comments and w/e as you really do rock my face off and ive only recentlly been concentrating on writing on an almost daily basis and am relaly trying to improve.so any notes on any of my writes would be appreciated
your funny and cool and i really see where your coming from with this one,,,we all go through cycles of wanting a lot of attention or wanting to be alone but usually im the one with too much spastic energy who has to give other people some space..and sometimes i need some space cuz im crazy in my brain but no matter the case i think just from the very tiny infintesimal bit of your randomness i have seen you seem like a great person so good things will happen in your life....best of luck.

I think there is something to that sixth sense business, but mine seems to desert me a critical moments, usually those involving women. I hope that things with you and you guy work out. If it doesn't, it was not meant to be. The right one is the one that can put up with you and who you become in the future. This cuts both ways. Stay well and keep writing.

Ever since I was little people have told me that I have good intuition and perspective on people...so I definately think there is something to a 6th sense.
I don't think it's that he can't handle me...he can't handle anything right now. He's easily stressed and I think it stresses him out even more that I express worry for him...it bugs me a little but I figure I just need to let him catch his breath.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

Incredible emotions. Stunning imagery. I adore that there was hope, even through the sorrow.
Write on.

hey, you wrote something! horoscope-related (I like the compatibility thing between different signs)... and relations... hey, I learned something here- people might need 'alone' time (if they're used to it) and others can be a sensory overload... (and don't ask me what to do about it yet... this notion just hit me...! )
-

I'll have you know I've been writing all week! Most of it is still just in pieces. This one literally came out of nowhere though...I like that.
Alone time...I rarely enjoy it...if I do it's been well-earned.
