Constellations

Just a little something I wrote for a school poetry contest...partially inspired by John Donne

 

It seems forever will we wait

Though I know it has not been very long

I keep time closer to me

Than that of those who do me wrong

For it can be

A dangerous enemy

 

The magic in your eyes

I yearn to see thy face

But time does not permit us so

This is not our place

 

We were born a tragedy

Already written in the stars

Brought only together

To discover who we really are

 

I- a wonderer in search

You- a promised path

But there are scars beneath our purpose

To hide behind our masks

 

Our caution is mirrored

By each other's reflection

Because we both know how it is

To fall into deception

 

And we come to realize

Something we least expect

That by looking into each other's eyes

Fear is not the only thing to reflect

 

But no sooner do we acknowledge

That we are molded such for a reason

Does fate intervene

And display the worse kind of treason

 

This is not

How it is supposed to be

I was meant for you

And you were meant for me

 

We were born a tragedy

Already written in the stars

Brought only together

To discover who we really are

 

We share something that the world has never seen

Yet admits to part take in its pleasure,

The kind written about in story tales

Doesn't even come close to its measure

 

The earth was not made for things greater than it's intended

Life being the highest of states

Therefore, those greater than life

Cannot survive in such a place

 

Thus are strength is torn

By the weakness of the world's capacity

The greatest love it has known

Was also its greatest catastrophe

 

Now, I no longer wonder in search

And you don't walk with purpose

Separate we wait for those in charge

To give us a name amongst the stars

 

There is a place for us

Somewhere no one can find

Somewhere meant for only you and me

Our own wrinkle in time

Amazing poem, amazing imagery. Just on some stanza's your rhythm is off. Besides that this poem is pretty awesome. Keep writing.

This poem opened up my imagination to a new level. I am recommending this to my friend Justin Tobey because it is simply amazing. Great job you are doing fantastic. Keep writing because I want to keep reading. Congrats.

This was magnificent. You truly caught my attention with the repetition and wording. You truly have talent with more than just having this as a school poem. ;)

This is very well written, "We were born a tragedy Already written in the stars" This is so true like your write.
