Stargazing

Stargazing

A Poem by Enigma

Stray thoughts always enter the wrong lane
At a wrong time
Shooting towards an unthinkable reality

Whisking past the glittering cases
Of showcased dreams
And throbbing promises
That sustain the dying stars
And the dying hearts

Riding on the crest of night's breath
A careless gaze chases
Luring the thoughts back into a known realm

As the sleep works its magic
Intoxicating an alert consciousness
Into blissful ignorance

I smile at a familiar touch
A familiar gaze
Chasing, perhaps, the same dreams
Under this starlit canopy of the night

Awesome piece with great imagery. the poem overtook me and left me wanting more. I didn't realize the subject was alone til the end. I like how it started off a little dreary and ended brightly. its a great feeling to go with the contrast and calming effect of a clear night sky.

I found it to be engaging with a sense of hope attached. I think that is also had a calming effect over me and I really thought it was beautiful. The lines within are some very clever ones, thought provoking ones that touched me deeply. It is amazing how just words like the ones you used can effect a person. XD Wonderfully penned.
