Hobson's choice

Lorenz

I took a flight to the light .

 Solitary traveller and loser,

Like swallowing a bowel 

in a limbo of boredom...

 This stewardess has stunning legs

and something a she-devil ,

ready to offer me a deal ...

 She serves me a cup of spells ,

drawing the curtain on the moon 

and leaving me in the mist .

  Hopeless ...

You're my satin theft

in a swarm of fustful flies ...

 I would wake up in a scrap metal orchestra ,

a  crash of distorted  echoes .

And take her into my harem ,

 Shameless ...

A  dark insomnia knight 

will drown my scarry desires ,

the taste of coffee 

will have the lyrics 

of your eyes in the blues ...

Was she an angel 

floating on a cloud above the ocean ?

Or only a siren from the depths ?

 I got lost before Paris -roissy ...

 hobson's choice .

Clouds are never where you expect

 them to be ...

    We think we are steering fate, but more often we simply surrender to its mystique.

    • Lorenz

      what a profound philosophical quote !

    • sorenbarrett

      Flying by instruments can be a test of faith and only works as long as the instruments are reliable and you have a good map. Nicely done

      • Lorenz

        Caution !
        Area of poetic turbulence !

        • sorenbarrett

          Indeed it is

        • Sealgair

          The world teems with symbols and shadows, yet all is fleeting. Choice is but an illusion.

          Brilliant work!

          • Lorenz

            We are left with the lucide choice of illusion !

                A flight feels less about travel more about inner escape.....
                Last line caught my eyes....
                Brilliant creation.

                • Lorenz

                  Inner traveler in free fall who no longer has the choice to leave or even to stay.
