The starry night
Its sweet lips
Reach to loneliness
Dispair it cups
Each shadow frail
Sheds its tears
An open eye
Only fears.
A burning torch
To move in breeze
The rolling grass
And open trees
Pity and lust
An open wound
A yearning
A watching moon.
For isolation now
A moment tremble
In deepest soul
In death resembles
The capture of
Ones inner self
The starry night
Of Heavens shelf.

Good write N.
Thank you, always appreciated
In a surreal approach this poem reaches for the heavens to unite oneself with nature and the universe. Most lovely
thanking you as always much appreciated
You are most welcome
I can relate to this poem so well. Well written. Your poem revolves around themes of loneliness, isolation, and the search for connection amid despair. The imagery of the "starry night" symbolizes both beauty and a sense of longing, while the references to “open wounds” and “yearning” highlight deep emotional pain and desire for understanding or companionship. The poem suggests a contemplation of one's inner self in the face of existential loneliness, evoking a profound sense of introspection.
spot on. thanks for reading its always much appreciated
Lying on the ground on a remote island in the south Pacific I contemplated the myriad stars, wondering where the gods might be hidding ?
something like that, thanks for reading, appreciated
