Blue Halcyon

Now - if I have to decipher this for you - that would defeat the point of writing it.   I take it you're not a fan of writers that use a lot of deep metaphors - like Sylvia Plath and the like.    

Some people prefer concrete poetry and other prefer abstract.  I prefer to read and to write abstract.  (However, I do enjoy reading/writing concrete as well - which is why I like Kahlil Gibran.)  If I tell you what I was thinking and what it actually means it would take away from the wonderful quality that abstract poems have.  They're like word puzzles that allow each person the opportunity to assign their own value or meaning to it.  I didn't mean for you to know what the dreams are - because they are mine and they're private. 

Also, swallowing is what you do while consuming.  Consuming has lots of meanings  - to destroy, eat or drink, to spend, to absorb, or to use up.  I chose a word that fit the feeling - I've been consumed completely by the things I've deamt - absorbed, spent and destroyed.  As for the rest of the poem - I'm not revealing that, so I hope you got it. hahaha lol   And the swallowing is just a hint at the title and what the blue flames are.
