The Star-dials

My Skin is a prism, your eyes are the prison, and this portrait shall be the sentence

Sunbeams set the star-dials within my hands.

From the streets came songs from the strays,

Lost Diamonds strung upon the Milky Way.

But love shall offer what angels attain. 

 

Under the mirror we sift through the symbols.

Look to the branded bards to find your mark.

Under the jaded arc a trapped lark shall sing-

Sift through reflections to find a newborn king.

 

There is a contour to the silhouette of love,

The rings which we wed when the sun sleeps.

The prisms are within my skin, I am the mirror,

Searching for Nebulas to manifest the rays.

This was truly beautfiul. It painted a picture and is one of those rare poems that keep you thinking after you've read. It was calming but strong and powerful.
"Lost Diamonds strung upon the Milky Way. But love shall offer what angels attain." To me those lines are what drew it all together even in the first stanza.
I got an almost fantasy feel from this one, and felt a very Victorian ring coming from it. Beautiful.

This poem was very soulful

spoken in a loud voice though
expressed with words

Nicely done

I really enjoyed the read

[Aimee Mahathy]

Wow, this is glittering and deep!
I love this! My favourite line was
"Look to the branded bards to find your mark." And isn't that what we do? Find those we admire and follow in their steps, hoping to achieve something like what they did. :]
This is great!

Wow. This is fantastic, fabulous, intense and beautifully written. Like I've said before, you write with experience and fluidity so uncommon for someone so young. It is truly a pleasure reading your work.

The third stanza seems a bit off in relation to the first two stanzas. Maybe it's because the flow is different.

Maybe it's a journey, about what someone goes through to search for something, and they might not even know what they're looking for.
