Ronan

Dark matter covers your salty eyes 

Emotion triggers your disguise

Heart lingers beyond the event horizon

Of the black hole that took its place 

Feelings suppressed into void

With power to destroy infinite moons 

Asteroids fire from memories of a boy 

The past is shadow, the now is ghost 

Your nebula in the midnight sky 

Gravitates towards an apology 

Ronan space is an analogy 

Run your fingers through my hair

Ripples created in my universe 

A vortex of goodbyes this is your curse

My arms are trembling i'm so scared

Tremors whisper you're no longer there

Keegan D'Souza,
I like how you interact the finality of deep loss with the depths of space. Moving contrasts between relational changes and active heavenly happenings. Moving poem no doubt!! Blessings. Kathy

Great poem keegan. Really felt like I wanted to be in this lovely poem you wrote. :)

Intriguing imagery and themes. I especially like the line: "The past is shadow, the now is ghost"

You're welcome.

this analogy to the end of love is so well done...there is always that fear as we walk away...even when we know it is the necessary thing to do...the idea of being alone leaves us in that black hole of existence...i have missed your writings, Kee.
