I DARE NOT ASK

The stars are majestic
I raise my arm and align the stars
Just so in between my hands
Cities lose site of the cosmos
They delve dependently
into the lights of man
This suburban town that holds
A love who beckons my call
Is my escape...

An evening canvas
Drapes me in questions
I dare not ask
I dare not last in her moments
Of silence,
Next to blindness
Her life out of reach
Her lights I beseech

Oceans reflecting
Mirrors to her soul

Her secrets I will keep

Until her return
To this suburban town
That holds a love

The imagery is what breaks and hugs me in, I adore your use of horrid lines with simple words, perfect, well done. x

Wow this has sick imagery! I mean this would really make a very very interesting picture if you were to actually paint it. I love the role you give to the stars, the emotion and feeling of this poem. Awesome job!

"Oceans reflecting
Mirrors to her soul"

' The stars are majestic ~ I raise my arm and align the stars ~ Just so in between my hands ~ Cities lose site of the cosmos '

Everything shines here, the stars, the town lights .. and most of all - the love, unconditional and more. The first few lines present a real place, a precious place made by you for that treasured other .. that is true romance and I say that in the most complimentary way. Thank you for putting heart in words.
