Between The Stars

.

This poem was inspired by hearing the rhythm of a theme tune of a television series.

Between The Stars      -     07 Feb 21 

Between the stars 

I have travelled for so long 

                                            The stars are my friends 

I sing the songs of loneliness 

                                                  The stars repeat them

We form a chorus in eternal night 

                                                         The stars sing sadness

We sing together 

Between the stars 

. 

Sad but beautiful.

Suddenly [Acrostic]

I felt a sudden urge to write another acrostic and Love song.





Suddenly [Acrostic]  -  30 Apr 14

Slowly ~ moment by moment
Understanding grew
Darkness faded and
Daylight flowed in my Heart
Ending the loneliness
Now I knew that ~ I
Love
You





I also seem to be getting a strange urge to make punny, or funny, references to the poem from the intro.

Competition

A new poem wandered into my mind, with gentle encouragement from Muse, it grew fairly quickly and I present it here.  The structure of a "count down" wasn't actually intended originally but I felt that it was good and I continued till it was complete.





Competition  -  12 Aug 12


Emptiness tried to claim me
Loneliness was already here
Between them
The melancholy choir
Was complete

Cobwebs on unused dreams
Did nothing but collect dust
And hide the light
From my eyes

Felt that all I saw
All I felt
Was all

Began to hear
New music

And then an Angel sang






Getting a feeling that this is the first poem of a pair ~ it this is the case, then part two will appear before too long, I hope.
