Bright Star

This is a tribute to Keats and the movie Bright Star

Breathe my chrysalides beauty

In the rhythm of your words

like the barest whiff of memory

you crack me open

Drawn between the lines of love

Inside the holiness of affections grace

I know I am real

I exist in our reflection

living an eternity inside your cadence

A heart beating out my name in whispers

between walls palms pressed

Upon butterfly's breathe

Floating atop the flowering treetops

Soul emboldened in your embrace

I will love you ever steadfast 

we will become immortal

Oh, to be your bright Star

This was really nice. Love was definitely floating through this poem in a peaceful easy fashion. Like a gentle breeze this caught me and held me as I read. Very nice my friend.

Thanks Jack. I had an uncontrollable romantic purging after watching bright star and listening to Keats.

What a lovely read. I love the use of alliteration here and the short, pointed lines. Well crafted and a sense of true capital R Romance.

Thank you Steve for a great review.

Beautiful and enchanting. I wouldn't be surprised if an angel had written it.

[DCT ponderings]

No just a flesh and blood hopeless romantic.

Have you ever seen the movie "Bright Star"? Fabulous movie about Keats and Fanny Brawn; cry like a baby every time I watch it. Anyway...the title brought me in. The piece was also not a disappointment. I was already in the mindset of the film, and of the ill-fated romance, and so this fit well with my frame of mind.

Oh, to be your bright Star -- love these lines, and a perfect way to finish the piece. Well done!

[DCT ponderings]

Well my dear. I had just watched Bright Star, one of my all time favs. I immediately wrote this piece as tribute to the movie, to Fanny and to Keats. Much to my dismay it is impossible for me to deny I am a hopeless romantic even when life tries to break me of it. I have never made it through with dry cheeks either.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

I'm so glad that this had something to do with the film! I absolutely love that movie...I must watch it again, it's been at least a month since I saw it last. So tragic, and yet so beautiful. I'm hopeless too...

[DCT ponderings]

I know, it is why your poetry speaks to me so clearly. ;)

[rhythm&blues]

Love the line 'soul emboldened in your embrace', this is a wonderful read. I think you meant 'upon butterflies breath'....just lovely.

[DCT ponderings]

Thanks RB. Especially for catching the typo. Extra eyes are the best.

[Sami Khalil]

You are a bright star indeed and this poem proves it. In my library...:)

[DCT ponderings]

[Sami Khalil]
