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

I wish for days and nights to be able to sit by the sea. Watch the sky and the waves. Photo and words were amazing. I felt like I was with your with the strong description. Thank you for the excellent poem.

"I raise my arm and align the stars
Just so in between my hands"-we do this often but yet beautiful it is when you put it in words!!! this was enchanting , blissful and seeking eternal love from the stars, from someone in the heavens above...such a soothing sensation you created!

the opening stanza is electric, like a Tesla arc. the second stanza brings the reader back down to earth, and the questions.

there's a demilitarized zone between the city and suburbs. Each can yield it's own escape. Love in either becomes transient.

This poem sets up many good questions I think you should dare to ask.

Stirring work, inspired from being in the wilderness I think. Awesome stuff.
