Wish

Emily Bradshaw

A wish of a shooting star falling through

The universal mind. A nova named 

Among constellations, brightly inflamed

And wild as the beautiful wish I blew.

The yearning to be a muse chosen by

An artist in a world of art. Mona

In Florence, or Lady of Verona

Compared to a summer day, how I'd cry.

One day I pray to be cradled and kissed

And caressed by the throes of passion

So exquisite it will change the fashion

Of my life in ways no one could resist.

It takes a lifetime of being unloved

To crave the privilege to love and be loved.

    The last two lines of this poem are highly philosophical and poetic. Nicely expressed

  • Doggerel Dave

    At age 20 you have plenty of time to love and be loved. Don't hang about - get out there and sort the world and your place in it.

    Your poem was easy to read and provided an easy answer.
