Beautiful People
And It Dawned on Me, Quite Right
We quietly departed from twilight
gazing at the stars overshooting the sky
with ease with space but unalike
it was all recast with daylight
And it dawned on me, quite right
that I was latching onto the opposite ride
spinning around the edge of my sight
bewitchingly caught in the riptide
subsumed with warmth was the amber
treading on the heels of the solitaire
and between my lips was a luscious ember
that has never tasted better
sinking deep below the surface ripple
making sense even as they mumble
There, there I saw the beaming twinkle
and my beautiful beautiful people
About the Creator
Ashley Tong
If I were a painter, linguistics would be my palette, and poetry my favourite brush. If I were an artist, nature would be my muse, and music my companion, and I shall endeavour to depict life as I see it.
