These Eyes Echo Twilights

by Melpomene   Dec 10, 2008


"Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief"

I'd rather dance with moonlight
then burn beneath the sun,
the man in the moon would mock me
if I had such assailable taste.
These eyes echo twilights
of Jupiter's insecurities;
while the breeze shall surrender
your heart into the night.

To the mechanical words of thunder,
I praise you for thy caution.
Although the venom on my tongue
shall only poison us all.
I've winced at the words of Shakespeare
as he never loved the night.
midnight within my eyes,
to diminish Romeos appetite.

Arise, fair moon, and kill the envious sun,
who is already sick and burnt with grief.

    Amazed, amazed, amazed...
    I need few moments to catch my breath... right now I'm simply speechless...
    What a poem, Mel, remarkable in so many different ways. I don't like to repeat myself, but I each poem of yours is a gem, and I have to say again how much I admire your creative ideas for the poems. This one could be my new favorite from you, it makes me want to read it over and over again just to find all the fantastic details of elegant dark atmosphere that you created.
    Everything is portrayed excellently, and I really can't be helpful nor critical right now, just amazed.
    I'm honored you wrote this with the title I thought of :)
    There is no point in analyzing each stanza separately, because every line is equally... I can't find the word strong enough to describe it, actually.
    Overall, I'm in love with this poem. Love it, love it :)

    Keep writing!
